Definition
Synthesis, Combustion, Decomposition,Single replacement, double replacement
Term

example 2Na+Cl2>2NaCl
Term
Decomposition
Definition
one single reactant, compound produces two or more products
AB> A+B

Combustion reactions
Definition
oxygen reacts with another substance often producing energy in the form of heat and light General form Cx hy(oz) +02> CO2+ H20
Term
Single Replacement
Definition
Atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element that is part of a compound- in other words an element + a compound yields a new element + new compound general form: AX + B> BX + A OR AX +Y> AY + X A AND B ARE METALS OR HYDROGEN AND X,Y ARE NON METALS
Term
Double Replacement
Definition
an exchange of cations (+ions) between two ionic compounds AB + CD> AD + CB
Term
