What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a compound breaks down into simpler substances. Example: AB → A + B.

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A reaction that involves the burning of a substance in the presence of oxygen, producing heat and light. Example: CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O.

Front

What is a Composition/Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single compound. Example: A + B → AB.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

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