Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A reaction where one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.

Front

What is combustion?

Back

A reaction that involves a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the general form of a combustion reaction?

Back

Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Front

What is the difference between synthesis and decomposition reactions?

Back

Synthesis combines reactants to form one product, while decomposition breaks down one reactant into multiple products.
