TYPES OF CHEMICAL
REACTIONS
OH, TELL ME THE
TRUTH ABOUT LOVE
YOU DO IT!

•Arrange the equations into groups

•Give each group an appropriate section heading


•Give each group a name!
SYNTHESIS REACTION
Combination of smaller atoms / molecules

Definition Into large molecules

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

2 H2O (l) -> 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g)

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

Cation displacement Anion displacement

• A metal element • A non-metal element


• Displaces the metal element of the • Displaces the non-metal element of the
compound compound
• K + NaCl -> KCl + Na • F2 + NaCl -> NaF + Cl2
Single Displacement

an element displaces another element in a compound


Definition

General formula
A + BC -> AC + B
one element and one compound as reactants

Reactant hint
The metal element displaces the metal element of compound

the non-metal element displaces the non-metal element of


compound
SINGLE DISPLACEMENT
EXAMPLE

CuCl2 + Al -> AlCl3 + Cu


Cation displacement

Aluminum displacing Copper


Double Displacement

two elements in different compounds trade places


Definition

General formula
AB + CD -> AD + CB
Two Compounds as reactants

Reactant hint
Metals switch with metals
Non-metals switch with non-metals
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT
EXAMPLE

Pb(NO3)2 + KI KNO3 + PbI2
