Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Molecule is broken down into two different elements.
Decomposition
A simple rearrangement of atoms. Compounds are called isomers (Two compound with same elements but different arrangement of bonds).
Isomerisation Reaction
Combining of Two elements
Synthesis/Combination
Only one atom is displaced in the reaction
Single Displacement
Two atom is displaced in the reaction.
Double Displacement
The reaction with Oxygen. When oxidized, it loses electrons.
Oxidation
The reaction with hydrogen. When reduced, it gains electrons.
Reduction
The agent that gives electron.
Reducing agent
The agent that receives electron
Oxidizing agent
The product that loses an electron.
Oxidized
The product that gains electron.
Reduced
Neutralization occurs and will produce salt and water.
Acid-Base Reaction
Fuel reacts with an oxidizing agent releasing heat. The product would be CO2 and H2O.
Combustion Reaction
