TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

1. Synthesis / Combination Reaction
o Two or more reactants combine
to form a single product.
o (A + B => AB)
2. Decomposition Reaction
o One reactant breaks down into
two or more products.
o (AB => A + B)
3. Single Displacement Reaction
Stoichiometry
o One element is substituted for
o Quantitative relationship of the
another element in a compound.
amounts of reactants consumed and
o (AB + C => AC + B)
products formed in a chemical
4. Double Displacement / Metathesis
reaction, expressed by a balanced

chemical equation.
o Two ionic compounds
exchanging anions or cations.
Formulas:
o (AB + CD => AD + BC)

3. Acid-Base Reactions
o Chemical reaction that occurs
between an acid and a base.
4. Oxidation-Reduction / Redox
Reaction
o Chemical reaction that involves a
transfer of electrons between two
species.
