    • Double Displacement Reactions/Metathesis Reactions: Exchange of ions between two compounds
      • Example: Reaction of sodium chloride and silver nitrate
    • Oxidation-Reduction Reactions(Redox): Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen; Reduction is the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen
      • Example: Addition of oxygen to magnesium to form magnesium oxide

    Oxidizing and Reducing Agents

    • Oxidizing agent causes oxidation.
    • Reducing agent causes reduction.
