Types of Chemical Reactions

• A synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine and form one compound.

• You can recognize a synthesis reaction because two or more reactants form only one product.

Synthesis

Types of Chemical Reactions

• A synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine and form one compound.

• You can recognize a synthesis reaction because two or more reactants form only one product.

Synthesis

Types of Chemical Reactions

• In a decomposition reaction, one compound breaks down and forms two or more substances.

• You can recognize a decomposition reaction because one reactant forms two or more products.

• Decomposition is the reverse of synthesis.

Decomposition

Types of Chemical Reactions

• In a replacement reaction, an atom or a group of atoms replaces part of a compound.

• Two types of replacement reactions can occur: • Single-replacement • Double-replacement

Replacement

Types of Chemical Reactions

• In a single-replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. In this type of reaction, an element and a compound react and form a different element and a different compound.

Single-Replacement

Types of Chemical Reactions

• In a single-replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. In this type of reaction, an element and a compound react and form a different element and a different compound.

Single-Replacement

Types of Chemical Reactions

• In a double-replacement reaction, the negative ions in two compounds switch places, forming two new compounds. In this type of reaction, two compounds react and form two new compounds.

Double-Replacement

Types of Chemical Reactions

• In a double-replacement reaction, the negative ions in two compounds switch places, forming two new compounds. In this type of reaction, two compounds react and form two new compounds.

Double-Replacement

Types of Chemical Reactions

Combustion• Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance

combines with oxygen and releases energy. • A combustion reaction usually releases energy as

thermal energy and light energy. • Burning is a common combustion reaction.• These reactions always produce carbon dioxide and

water.
