Decomposition occurs when...

• Two formulas combine.
• A formula breaks apart.
• An atom is replaced during a reaction.

A synthesis occurs when...

• Two formulas combine.
• A formula breaks apart.
• An atom is replaced during a reaction.

Why must chemical equations be balanced?

• So that the equation doesn't explode

• The reaction won't happen until it is balanced

• Based on the Law of Conservation of Matter, matter cannot be created or destroyed.

• Based on the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed.e
