1
New cards

Decomposition

Single substance = broken apart into 2/more simpler substances

1 reactant, 2 products

AB→A+B

2
New cards

Synthesis/Combination

Involve 2/more substances combining → new substance

2 reactants, 1 product

A + B → AB

3
New cards

Single displacement

One element/group of elements = removed + replaced by another element/group of elements

A + BC → AC + B

4
New cards

Double displacement

2 compounds completely swap ions with each other

Create 2 new compound (one = solid)

AB + CD → AD + CB

5
New cards

Precipitation

Some double displacement reactions = form a solid (precipitate)

2 soluble reactants combine → insoluble product (the precipitate)

6
New cards

Combustion

Fuel (usually hydrocarbon) combines with oxygen → CO2 + water
