Types Of Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Synthesis
A
Two or more substances react to form a single substance
A+B-> AB
2
Q
Single replacement
A
One element takes the place of another element in the compound
A+BC= B+AC
3
Q
Double replacement
A
Two different compounds exchange positive ions and form two compounds.
(AB+CD= AD + CB)
4
Q
Decomposition
A
Compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances
AB= A+B
5
Q
Combustion reaction
A
A reaction in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, often produces heat and light.
6
Q
What did the discovery of subatomic particles enable scientists to do?
A
It enabled scientists to classify certain chemical reactions as transfers of electrons between atoms.
7
Q
