What is a exothermic reaction?
Chemicals reaction that requires heat
Example- making ice cubes
What is a endothermic reaction?
A chemical reaction that reacquires heat
Example- melting ice
What is synthesis reaction?
A reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound.
What is decomposition reaction?
A reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances.
What is electrolysis?
The process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction, such as decomposition of water.
What is combustion reaction?

What is a single-displacement reaction?
A reaction in which one element or radical takes the place of another element of radical Ina compound.
What is a double-displacement reaction?
A reaction in which a gas, a solid precipitate, or a molecular compound forms from the apparent exchange of atoms or ions between two compounds.
What is a oxidation-reduction reaction?
An chemical change I which one species is oxidized and another species is reduced also called redox bonding.
What is radicals?
An organic group that has one or more electrons available for bonding.
What is reduced?
Substances that accost electrons
What is oxidized?
