What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.

Front

What is combustion?

Back

A chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.

Front

What determines the reactivity of an element?

Back

Reactivity is determined by the element's electron configuration, particularly the number of valence electrons.
