Do decomposition reactions require energy

Nearly always, but there are compounds which formed endothermically, so their decomposition gives out energy.

Which method of heat transfer causes actual movement of material

Both conduction and convection. Conduction involves the small movements of individual particles, convection can be on a much larger scale with a hot liquid or gas rising and a cool liquid or gas dropping.

Which type of chemical reaction often produces energy in the form of light heat or electricity

Exothermic Reaction

In addition to speeding up what will heated particles do

expand and grow frow larger

What type of reaction releases energy and does not require initial energy to occur

All reactions require an activation energy. Some appear not to because that energy is provided enough by their temperature. Thus, there is no reaction that does not require any initial energy to occur.

A reaction that results in an overall release of energy is called an exothermic reaction.

What is a chemical equation in which both the reactant an product have an equal number of atoms of a given element

balanced equation

What is the number in front of a chemical formula called-

The number in front of a chemical formula is called a coefficient.

Mass can be lost or gained in a chemical reaction.

false

Subscripts can be changed in order to balance a chemical equation.

False,Only coefficients can be changed in order to balance a chemical equation. Subscripts are part of the chemical formula for reactants or products and cannot be changed to balance an equation.

Which of these statements is true of convection

the melted rock called magma is less dense than a solid rock
