Question 1

It is also known as a combination reaction, a reaction in which 2 or more substances combine. (A+B = AB)

Answer 1

Synthesis

Question 2

A reaction in which a compound breaks into two or more simple substances. (AB = A+B)

Answer 2

Decomposition

Question 3

A reaction in which one element replaces an element in a compound. (AB + C = AC + B)

Answer 3

Single replacement

Question 4

Occurs when the positive and negative ions of 2 ionic compounds exchange places to form 2 new compounds. (AB + CD = AD + CB)

Answer 4

Double replacement

Question 5

A reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. (CH + O2 = CO2 + H2O)

Answer 5

Combustion
