Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Reactions occur when substances change composition and form new substances.
- Reaction type can be predicted by observing reactants and products.
Synthesis Reactions
- Two or more reactants combine to form one product.
- General formula: A + B → AB
- Synthesis reactions can form binary compounds.
- An element and a compound can react to form a new compound.
- Two compounds can combine to form a new compound.
Decomposition Reactions
- One compound breaks down into two or more products.
- General formula: AB → A + B
- Binary compounds can decompose into their elements.
- Metal nitrates decompose into oxygen and a metal nitrite.
- Metal carbonates decompose into a metal oxide and carbon dioxide.
- Metal hydroxides decompose into a metal oxide and water.
