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: 2Pb(NO3)2 -> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2.

Front

What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: Cu + 2Ag(NO3) -> 2Ag + Cu(NO3).

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds. Example: AB + CD -> AD + CB.

Front

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. Example: A + B -> AB.

What is the general formula for a Synthesis Reaction?

Back

A + B -> AB.
