Unit
2 or more reactants combine to form a single product
Synthesis
Only one product
Synthesis
A + B -> AB
Synthesis
A single reactant breaks down into 2 or more products
Decomposition
AB -> A + B
Decomposition
A single element replaces another in a compound
- cation replaces cation
- anion replaces anion
Single replacement
A + BC -> B + AC
Single replacement
Reactants: one element and one compound
Single replacement
Single element must be more active (higher on the activity series)
