type of reactions Flashcards
chemical reaction
a change in which one or more new substance are formed
oxidation
when a substance reacts with oxygen
metal + oxygen > metal oxide
combustion
when a substance burns in oxygen
reduction
occurs when a substance loses oxygen
decomposition
when a compound breaks down into simpler substances
thermal decomposition
when a substance is decomposed using heat
electrolysis
when a substance is decomposed using electricity
neutralization
reaction between an acid and a base producing a salt and water
precipitation
when a solid is produced from solutions that are mixed together
displacement
when a more reactive element takes place of a less reactive one in a compound
endothermic
need energy to happen. less common reaction
exothermic
give out energy. most common type of reaction
