Типы химических реакций

Синтез (соединение)
- Два или более реагента образуют одно новое соединение.
- Пример:
  - ( A + B \rightarrow AB )
Разложение
- Одно соединение распадается на два или более продуктов.
- Пример:
  - ( AB \rightarrow A + B )
Замещение (вытеснение)
- Один элемент замещает другой элемент в соединении.
- Пример:
  - ( A + BC \rightarrow AC + B )
Взаимодействие (двойное замещение)
- Обмен между двумя соединениями, формируя новые соединения.
- Пример:
  - ( AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB )
Окислительно-восстановительные реакции (редокс-реакции)
- Включает передачу электронов, где нарушаются состояния окисления.
- Пример:
  - ( \text{Fe}^{3+} + \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Fe} + \text{Zn}^{2+} )
Кислотно-основные реакции
- Реакция между кислотой и основанием, приводящая к образованию соли и воды.
- Пример:
  - ( \text{HCl} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O} )
Полимеризация
- Процесс объединения мономеров для формирования полимеров.
- Пример:
  - Непрерывная реакция: ( nA \rightarrow (A_n) )

Inorganic Chemistry

Studies the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of inorganic compounds
Focuses on metals, metalloids, nonmetals, minerals, acids, bases, and salts
Includes:
Coordination Chemistry
- Studies complexes involving transition metals
Organometallic Chemistry
- Synthesis and reactions of organometallic compounds

Types of Chemical Reactions

Synthesis (Combination)
- Two or more reactants combine to form a single product
- Example: ( A + B \rightarrow AB )
Decomposition
- A single compound breaks down into two or more products
- Example: ( AB \rightarrow A + B )
Single Displacement (Substitution)
- One element replaces another element in a compound
- Example: ( A + BC \rightarrow AC + B )
Double Displacement (Metathesis)
- Exchange of elements between two compounds, forming new compounds
- Example: ( AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB )
Redox Reactions
- Involve the transfer of electrons, resulting in changes in oxidation states
- Example: ( \text{Fe}^{3+} + \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Fe} + \text{Zn}^{2+} )
Acid-Base Reactions
- Reaction between an acid and base, producing salt and water
- Example: ( \text{HCl} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O} )
Polymerization
- Process of joining monomers to form polymers
- Example: ( nA \rightarrow (A_n) )

Types of Chemical Reactions

Synthesis (Combination) reactions involve the formation of a more complex substance from simpler ones.
- Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O (Hydrogen and Oxygen combine to form Water)
Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of a complex substance into simpler components.
- Example: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂ (Water decomposes into Hydrogen and Oxygen)
Single Replacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound.
- Example: Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu (Zinc replaces Copper in Copper Sulfate)
Double Replacement reactions involve two compounds exchanging elements or ions.
- Example: AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃ (Silver Nitrate and Sodium Chloride exchange components)
Redox (Oxidation-Reduction) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants.
- Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
- Reduction is the gain of electrons.
Complex Formation reactions result in the formation of complex compounds from simple ions or molecules.
- Example: Ag⁺ + 2NH₃ → [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ (Silver ion reacts with ammonia to form a complex ion)
Polymerization reactions involve the joining of many monomers (small molecules) to form a polymer (large molecule).
- Example: nC₂H₄ → (C₂H₄)ₙ (Ethylene monomers combine to form polyethylene)
Neutralization reactions involve the reaction of an acid and a base to form salt and water.
- Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O (Hydrochloric acid reacts with Sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride and water)
