is a process in which at least one
substance is produced as a result of chemical change.
chemical reaction
The substance that enter into a chemical reaction are
called
reactants
substances formed from this
reaction are called .
products
separates reactants from products; usually
read as ‘yields’.
arrow (→) -
- separates individual substances in each
side
plus sign (+)
- denotes a reaction in equilibrium
double arrow (⇌)
state of compound or molecules -
(s) solid, (l) liquid, (g)
gas, and (aq) aqueous
What are the different
types of chemical
reactions?
Synthesis Reactions
Decomposition Reactions
Single Displacement Reactions
Double Displacement Reactions
Combustion Reactions
Combination reactions
• Reactions where two or more simple substances
(generally elements) combine to form new compoun
Synthesis Reactions
A compound is broken down into simpler compounds or
even its starting elements
Decomposition Reactions
Decomposition of a compound is possible through the
application of either
heat, energy, a catalyst, or a
combination of these.
One element replaces a similar element in the compound
Single Displacement Reactions
occurs when two ionic substances react and exchange
ions with one another
Double Displacement Reactions
Two types of double displacement reactions
acid-base reactions
precipitation reactions
Acid-base reactions or neutralization reactions
Combinations of an acid and a base forming a salt and
water
