Chemical Reaction Types

What is a Decomposition Reaction?

• A chemical reaction where one compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Example: Ni(ClO3)2 → NiCl2 + O2.

• A reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product.

• A reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between two species.

• A reaction that occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.

What happens in a Synthesis Reaction?

• Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

• A single reactant breaks down into two or more products.

• Reactants exchange components to form new products.

• Products are formed without any reactants involved.

What is the general form of a Synthesis Reaction?

• A + B → AB.

• A + B → A + B

• AB → A + B

• A + B + C → AB + C

What is the general form of a Decomposition Reaction?

• AB + C → A + B

• AB → A + B

• A + B → AB

• AB → A - B

What is a Synthesis Reaction?

• A chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a single product. Example: A + B → AB.

• A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: AB → A + B.

• A reaction that involves the exchange of ions between two compounds. Example: AB + CD → AD + CB.

• A reaction that occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light. Example: C + O2 → CO2.

What is the general form of a Double Replacement Reaction?

• AB + CD → CB + AD.

• AB + C → AC + B.

• A + B → AB.

• AB + CD → AD + CB.

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

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

• A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.

• A reaction that involves the breaking of chemical bonds without forming new compounds.

• A reaction that occurs only in gaseous states.
