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.

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a combination reaction?

Back

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

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

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

What is the general form of a decomposition reaction?

Back

The general form of a decomposition reaction is: AB → A + B.
