5. Vocabulary:
Synthesis: is a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form one new compound. (synonyms: mixture, fuse, blend)
Decomposition: is a reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances. (synonyms: corrode, decay, breakdown)
Single Displacement: Sometimes, an element replaces another element that is a part of a compound. This type of reaction is called a single-displacement reaction. (synonyms: move, shift, rearrange)

6. Vocabulary:
Catalyst: a substance that increases the rate of chemical reaction.
Inhibitor: a substance that decreases the rate of chemical reaction.
Law of Conservation of mass: states that during a chemical reaction or a physical change, mass is not created or destroyed but transformed into a new substance.
