Synthesis
A type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. General form: A + B = AB.
Decomposition
A type of chemical reaction where a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. General form: AB → A + B.
Combustion
A type of chemical reaction where a fuel reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water, along with heat energy.
Single Displacement
A type of reaction where a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound. General form: A + BC → AC + B.
Double Displacement
A type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. General form: AB + CD → AD + CB.
Complete Combustion
A combustion reaction where there is a sufficient supply of oxygen, producing only carbon dioxide and water.
Incomplete Combustion
A combustion reaction with insufficient oxygen, potentially producing carbon monoxide or soot.
Precipitation Reaction
A double displacement reaction that results in the formation of an insoluble solid from two aqueous solutions.
Acid-base Neutralization Reaction
A reaction between an acid and a base that produces water and a salt.
Endothermic Reaction
A reaction that absorbs heat energy from its surroundings.
