Today in class we began to look at the first 4 of the 5 types of reactions. These 4 types are synthesis, decomposition, combustion, and single replacement.
Synthesis sounds like the name this is where we take 2 small compounds or 2 elements and add them together to make one larger compound.
Decomposition is the exact opposite of the a synthesis reaction and is where we take a larger compound and break it down into its smaller parts.
Combustion is a reaction between a hydrogen and carbon (sometimes oxygen) containing compound and oxygen to always produce carbon dioxide and water.
Single Replacement is a reaction where a metal/halogen will replace a metal/halogen in a compound if they are more reactive.
To determine if a single replacement reaction will occur by using a activity series. If the metal being added to the compound is higher on the list than the metal in the compound then the metal will replace it.
