| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Explain what a reactant is in a chemical equation and where it is located based on the arrow ( → ). | electrons are SHARED - first element stays the same, second element: ending is changed to IDE: prefixes are added |
| Explain what a product is in a chemical equation and where it is located based on the arrow ( → ). | electrons are TAKEN or GIVEN - first element stays the same, second element: ending is changed to IDE: |
| In a chemical equation, what does the arrow ( → ) mean? | products are on the RIGHT side of the reaction |
| Give an example of a chemical equation and list the elements and number of atoms on each side. | reactants are on the LEFT side of the reaction |
| Give an example of synthesis reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | A+B-->AB |
| Give an example of decomposition reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | AB-->A+B |
| Give an example of a single replacement reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | AB+C--AC+B |
| Give an example of double displacement reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | AB+CD-->AD+CB |
