What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where one compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: AB → A + B.

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. Example: A + B → AB.

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: A + BC → AC + B.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds. Example: AB + CD → AD + CB.
