11.2 What are the five general types of reactions? | 1. combination 2. decompoostion 3. single-replacement 4. double-replacement 5. combustion. |
11.2 How can you predict the products of the five general types of reactions? | The number of the elements and/or compounds reacting is a good indicator of possible reaction type and thus possible products. |
11.2 Combination Reaction | a chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance |
11.2 decomposition reaction | a chemical change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products |
11.2 single-replacement reaction | a chemical change in which one element replaces a second element in a compound |
11.2 activity series | a list of metals in order of decreasing reactivity |
11.2 double-replacement reaction | a chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds |
11.2 combustion reaction | a chemical change in which an element or a compound reacts with oxygen |
11.2 What are the three types of products that result from double-replacement reactions? | One in sonly slightly soluble, one is a gas, and one is a molecular compound |
11.2 What is a characteristic of every combination reaction? | The reactants are two elements and the product os a single substance |
11.2 What is a distinguishing feature of every decomposition reaction? | It involves only one reactant and two or more products |
11.2 What substance is common to all combustion reactions? | O2 |
