What’s Your Reaction? Types of Reactions

What is the purpose of sorting chemical equations in the activity "What's Your Reaction?"

• To find patterns in the types of chemical equations and to classify a reaction by type.

• To learn the periodic table of elements.

• To understand the molecular structure of compounds.

• To practice balancing chemical equations.

Why are the reactions where all the atoms in the reactants combine to make one product called combination reactions?

• Because they require a catalyst.

• Because they involve decomposition.

• Because all the atoms combine.

• Because they produce multiple products.

What are the reactions called where the metal combines with one of the elements in the other reactant?

• Decomposition reactions.

• Combination reactions.

• Single exchange reactions.

• Double exchange reactions.

What is the characteristic of reactions that are classified as double exchange reactions?

• Two reactants combine to form one product.

• A reactant decomposes into multiple products.

• One reactant transfers an element to the other reactant.

• Two compounds exchange elements or ions.
