Types of Chemical Reactions

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 Single Displacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: A + BC → AC + B.

Front

What is a Double Displacement Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a Combination Reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a Combustion Reaction?

Back

A reaction that involves the burning of a substance in the presence of oxygen, producing heat and light. Example: Hydrocarbon + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
