Types of Reactions Flashcardizz

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2.

Front

What is a Double Displacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds. Example: 3KOH + H3PO4 → K3PO4 + 3H2O.

Front

What is a Single Displacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: 3Ca + 2AlCl3 → 3CaCl2 + 2Al.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. Example: 4Si + S8 → 2Si2S4.

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat. Example: C5H10O4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
