General formula
A + B -> AB
Reactant hint two elements as reactants
SYNTHESIS EXAMPLE
Zn + S -> ZnS
WHAT ABOUT THIS
ONE? BALANCED
CHEMICAL
EQUATION -
Decomposition
A larger molecule is split
Definition
Into smaller molecules or elements.
General formula
AB -> A + B
Reactant hint a binary compound (made up of two elements) as the only
reactant
DECOMPOSITION EXAMPLE
decomposition of water
NO3 DECOMPOSITION
SINGLE DISPLACEMENT
An element and a compound as reactants
Based on the shape,
A can only displace B
The element displaces / replaces an element from the compound
General formula
A + BC -> AC + B
one element and one compound as reactants
Reactant hint
The metal element displaces the metal element of compound
General formula
AB + CD -> AD + CB
Two Compounds as reactants
Reactant hint
Metals switch with metals
Non-metals switch with non-metals
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT
