Types of chemical reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Combination reactions
A
2 or more elements form one product
S + O2= SO2
2
Q
Decomposition reactions
A
One substance splits into 2 or more substances
AB= A+ B
3
Q
Single replacement reactions
A
One element takes the place of a different element
A+ BC= AC+ B
4
Q
Double replacement reaction
A
AB+ CD= AD+ CB
