Types of chemical reactions
By: Chase Roberson
Synthesis
the combination of ideas to form a theory or system.
A+B=AB
2Ca+O2=2CaO
Decomposition
the state or process of rotting; decay.
AB=A+B
2OC=O+C
Single Replacement
a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another
A+BX=B+AX
Zn+CuCl2=ZnCl2+Cu
Double Replacement
is a type of chemical reactionwhere two compounds react, and the positive ions and the negative ions of the two reactants switch places
AY+BX=BY+AX
Combustion
rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light.
2H2=O22+H2O
