Fuel+oxygen->
Carbon, carbon monoxide and water
What is incomplete combustion?

Where is the best place to put a carbon oxide detector?
Kitchen or hall
Metal+Acid->Salt+Hydrogen
MASH
What is thermal decomposition

What is an endothermic reaction?
When you add heat to a reaction
Alkaline metals
Lithium Sodium Potassium Rubidium Caesium Francium
What is oxidation

What is redox
When both oxidation and reduction are happening at the same time
