        Help!  

Question
Answer
a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound   Synthesis Reaction  
🗑
a reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances   decomposition reaction  
🗑
the process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction, such as the decomposition of water   Electrolysis  
🗑
a reaction in which one element or radical takes the place of another element or radical in a compound   single-displacement reaction  
🗑
the oxidation reaction of an organic compound, in which energy as heat is released   combustion Reaction  
🗑
five basic types of reactions   synthesis,decomposition, single-displacement, double-displacement, and combustion reactions  
🗑
One simple type of synthesis reaction is the combination of an element with oxygen to produce an   oxide of the element  
🗑
Most metals react with the Group 17 elements, the halogens, to form   ionic or covalent compounds  
🗑
Group 1 metals react with halogens to form   ionic compounds with the formula MX, where M is the metal and X is the halogen  
🗑
Group 2 metals react with the halogens to form ionic compounds with   formula MX2.  
🗑
is so reactive that it combines with almost all metals   Fluorine  
🗑
can be used to neutralize hydrochloric acid in your stomach   Calcium hydroxide  
🗑
Oxides of active metals react with water to produce   metal hydroxides  
🗑
highly reactive metals   Active metals  
🗑
known as lime or quicklime   Calcium oxide, CaO  
🗑
The addition of water to lime produce   Ca(OH)2,which is also known as slaked lime  
🗑
one of the main ingredients in acid rain   sulfurous acid further reacts with oxygen to form sulfuric acid  
🗑
metal oxides and nonmetal oxides react with each other in synthesis reactions to form   salts  
🗑
Decomposition reactions are the opposite of   synthesis reactions  
🗑
Decomposition reactions are represented by this equation   AX --> A + X  
🗑
Most decomposition reactions take place only when energy is in what form   electricity or heat is added  
🗑
The simplest kind of decomposition reaction is   the decomposition of a binary compound into its elements  
🗑
Who discovered oxygen through such a decomposition reaction in 1774, when he heated mercury(II) oxide to produce mercury and oxygen   Joseph Priestley  
🗑
When mercury(II) oxide (the red-orange substance in the bottom of the test tube) is heated, it decomposes into   oxygen and metallic mercury  
🗑
When a metal carbonate is heated, it breaks down to produce   metal chloride and oxygen  
🗑
All metal hydroxides except those containing Group 1 metals decompose when heated to yield   metal oxides and water  
🗑
When a metal chlorate is heated, it decomposes to produce   a metal chloride and oxygen  
🗑
Certain acids decompose into   nonmetal oxides and water  
🗑
Carbonic acid is unstable and decomposes readily at room temperature to produce   carbon dioxide and water  
🗑
heated, sulfuric acid decomposes into   sulfur trioxide and water  
🗑
Single-displacement reactions can be represented by the following general equations.   A + BX --> AX + B or Y + BX --> BY + X  
🗑
When solid aluminum is placed in aqueous lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2(aq), the aluminum replaces the lead and forms   Solid lead and aqueous aluminum nitrate  
🗑
The most-active metals, such as those in Group 1, react vigorously with water to produce   metal hydroxides and hydrogen  
🗑
Less-active metals, such as iron, react with steam to form a   metal oxide and hydrogen gas.  
🗑
The most combine active halogen   Fluorine  
🗑
in Group 17 each element can replace any element below it,but not   any element above it  
🗑
One of the compounds formed by a double displacement reactions is   usually a precipitate, an insoluble gas that bubbles out of the solution, or a molecular compound, usually water  
🗑
The formation of a precipitate occurs when   the cations of one reactant combine with the anions of another reactant to form an insoluble or slightly soluble compound.  
🗑
examples of combustion reactions   The burning of natural gas, propane, gasoline, and wood  
🗑
