Types of Chemical Reactions
Synthesis Two or more elements or compounds combined to make one compound. A + B AB H 2 + O 2 H 2 O M4z74
Decomposition (Analysis) One compound broken down into two or more substances EF E + F (NH4)2Cr2O7 Cr2O3 + N2 + H2O 1X7Gg
Single Replacement Element combined with a compound to form a new element and a different compound. DE + F DF + E or XY + Z ZY + X Na + H2O NaOH + H 2
Double Replacement (Ion Exchange or Precipitation) Two compounds react to form two new compounds ST + MP MT + SP KI + Pb(NO3)2 PbI2 + KNO3
Oxidation-Reduction Electrons are transferred from one element to another. One element loses electrons (oxidation) and another element gains electrons (reduction) B&view=detail&FORM=VIRE4&adlt=strict (Bioluminescence)
Combustion Organic compound is rapidly reacted with oxygen
