Q

What are the three types of double displacement reactions?

A

Acid/Base reaction - neutralization (Reactions that form water)
Precipitation reaction (Reactions that form solid)
Unstable product - undergoes subsequent decomposition (Reactions that form gas)

Q

What are the four types of synthesis reactions?

A

Synthesis of an ionic compound (metal + non-metal : sodium chloride)
Synthesis of an oxide, metal or non-metal (02 is a reactant)
Synthesis of a base (metal oxide in water)
Synthesis of an acid (non-metal oxide in water)
