Types of Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a Single Displacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: 2 AgNO₃ + Cu → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 Ag.

Front

What is a Double Displacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. Example: 2 RbNO₃ + BeF₂ → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2 RbF.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: 2 NH₃ + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄.

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2 H₂O → 2 H₂ + O₂.
