1. Chemical reactions can be categorized into four main types. When a chemical charge occurs the clues
to look for are: the _______ _______ _______ _______, _______ _______ _______ _______,
______ ______ ______ ______, and energy charge in the form of __________________ and
__________________.
2. ____________________ reactions are also called combination reactions. The general formula
is ____________________.

3. ____________________ reactions occur when a single ____________________ breaks down into

two or more ____________________. The general formula is AB → A + B.

4. There are two types of _________________ reactions. __________________ __________________

occurs when a __________________________ replaces the metal ion of a compound; or a
____________________ replaces the non-metal ion of a compound. The general formula for
this type of reaction is ____________________ → ____________________.

5. Not all metals and non-metals will displace the ion they react with. A(n) __________ __________
lists the elements in their order of reactivity. An element ____________________ on the activity
series will ____________________ the element below so a chemical reaction will occur.
