chem balancing equations

synthesis

two or more substances combine to form a single product

as a result of synthesis

plants produce glucose and oxygen

decomposition

one substance breaks down into two or more separate substances

combustion

hydrocarbon burns in the presence of oxygen producing carbon dioxide, water and lots of heat

products of double replacement

gas, water or precipitate

metatithesis

driving force is the formation of precipitate, a molecular compound or a gas

oxidation

driving force is the movement of high energy electrons from an element to another

most active halogen

flourine

least active halogen

iodine

single replacement

a more reactive elements replaces the same type of element from a compound to form a new compound and an element

what halogen cannot replace a halogen in single replacement

iodine

in single replacement when there is a transition metal, the transition metal

takes the charge of the element it replaces

double replacement

exchange of pos ions between two compounds, 2 Ionic Compounds as reactants and 2 new compounds as products
