Types of Chemical Reactions

Synthesis or Combination Reactions

Two species combine together to produce a more complex compound.

Types of phases used

S - Solid

G - Gas

L - Liquid

Aq - Solution

Standard rules for all synthesis or combination reactions

1. Remember Diatomic
2. Put 1 atom of each first to the product side
3. Do not bring diatomic
4. Put up charges
5. Balence compound
