| Term | Definition | personal definition | example |
|---|---|---|---|
| double replacement reaction | reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds. | reaction where two positive and negative ionic compounds exchange | AB + CD → CB + AD |
| single replacemnet reaction | reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. | one element is substitued for another element in a compound | AB + C → AC + B |
| combustion reaction | chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces energy, usually in the form of heat and light. . | A combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound and an oxidant is reacted to produce heat and a new product. | O2 is a reactant CO2 and H20 are products Energy in the form of light, heat, fire, or explosion is given off. |
| synthesis reaction or combination reaction | Two elements or molecules combine to form one product | two things combine to make one thing two chemicals come together to form one | A + B → AB |
| Decomposition reaction | One compound or molecule breaks apart to form multiple products | where a compound breaks down into two or more products | AB → A + B |
