Chem rxn Types
Term | Definition | Personal Definition |
---|---|---|
Synthesis reaction (rxn) or combination reaction | Two elements or molecules combine to form one product | A combination that forms a product |
A + B → AB | Synthesis Reaction | |
Decomposition reaction (rxn) | One compound or molecule breaks apart to form multiple products | A separation of a product to make multiple products |
AB → A + B | Decomposition reaction | |
Single replacement reaction (rxn) or single displacement reaction | reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. | Equation where one thing is replaces or swapped by another thing |
AB + C → AC + B | Single Replacement Reaction | |
Double replacement reaction (rxn) | reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds. | Single Replacement Reaction but two things are swapped or replaced |
AB + CD → CB + AD | Double Replacement Reaction | |
Combustion reaction (rxn) (explosions, fires) | chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces energy, usually in the form of heat and light. . | Equation involving fuel or oxidization |
O2 is a reactant _ _· CO2 and H20 are products CxHx + O2 → CO2 + H2O | Combustion reaction (rxn) (explosions, fires) |
