What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound, represented by the general equation: A + BC → AC + B.

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where the ions in two compounds exchange places, typically represented by the equation: AB + CD → AD + CB.

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products, represented by the general equation: AB → A + B.
