Types of Reactions

Front

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 double replacement reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

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