Synthesis

(Combination) Reaction

Reactants combine to
form a single product.

2Al + 3Br2 →
A + B  AB 2AlBr3
 Decomposition
Reaction
In this reaction, a single
reactant breaks down
into simpler ones. (2 or more
products). This is the reverse
of combination reaction.

2Cl2O5 →
AB  A + B 2Cl2 + 5O2
 Single Displacement
Reaction
This is when one
element replaces another element
from a compound. The more active
element takes the place of the less
active element in a compound.

AB + C  AC 2Al + Fe2O3 →
+B Al2O3 + 2Fe
Double Displacement
Reaction
A type of chemical reaction in
which elements in one compound
SWAP with elements in another
compound to form TWO NEW
COMPOUNDS.

AB + CD  BaCl2 + H2SO4 →
AD + CB BaSO4 + 2HCl
Combustion Reaction
This is when Oxygen combines
with a HYDROCARBON
(compound containing
HYDROGEN and CARBON) to
form WATER and CARBON
DIOXIDE.

CH4 + O2 
CO2 + H2O
