identifying and differentiating the types of chemical reactions

1. Types of Chemical Reactions

2. Types of Chemical Reactions
• 1. Synthesis - reaction where two or more
substances combine to form one new
compound.
• Example: A + B -> AB

3. Types of Chemical Reactions
• 2. Decomposition - reaction where a single
compound breaks down to form two or
more simpler substances.
• Example: AB -> A + B

4. Types of Chemical Reactions
• 3. Single Displacement - reaction where
an element replaces another element that
is part of a compound. Products are a new
compound and a different element.
• Example:
• A + BC -> AC + B

5. Types of Chemical Reactions
• 4. Double Displacement - reaction where
two compounds exchange places.
• Example: AB + CD -> AD + CB

6. Examples:
• N2 + H2 🡪 NH3
• NaCl + F2 🡪 NaF + Cl2
• KClO3 🡪 KCl + O2
• FeCl3 + NaOH 🡪 Fe(OH)3 + NaCl
