types of reactions

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: A + B → AB.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a single displacement reaction?

Back

A single displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: A + BC → AC + B.

Front

What is a double displacement reaction?

Back

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds. Example: AB + CD → AD + CB.
