What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: 2NO₂ → N₂ + 2O₂.

Front

What is the Balanced Chemical Equation for the reaction of Aluminum and Oxygen to form Aluminum Oxide?

Back

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

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

Front

Why is nuclear fusion not currently used for power generation?

Back

Nuclear fusion generates much more energy than nuclear fission, making it much harder to control.

Front

What is the general formula for a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A + B → AB.

Front

What is the general formula for a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

AB → A + B.

Front

What is the general formula for a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A + BC → AC + B.

Front

What is the general formula for a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

AB + CD → CB + AD.

Front

What is the difference between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion?

Back

Nuclear fission splits heavy atomic nuclei into smaller ones, while nuclear fusion combines light atomic nuclei to form heavier ones.
