Chemical Reaction Types

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound, represented as A + BC -> B + AC.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product, represented as A + B -> AB.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where two compounds exchange components, represented as AB + CD -> CB + AD.

Front

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances, represented as AB -> A + B.
