Section 3Section 3Classifying Classifying Chemical Chemical ReactionsReactions
Types of ReactionsTypes of Reactions1. Synthesis Reaction- two or more substance form a new
substance A + B --> AB2. Decomposition Reaction-One substance breaks down
into two or more substances AB ---> A + B
3. Single-displacement Reaction- one element replaces another one in a compound; A + BC ---> AC +B or D + BC --> BD + C
4. Double-displacement Reaction- results if a precipitate, water, or a gas forms when two ionic compounds in a solution are combined; AB + CD --> AD + CB
5. Combustion Reaction-a substance combines with oxygen to produce energy
“X ” + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
Oxidation-Reduction Oxidation-Reduction (Redox)(Redox)
These reactions often These reactions often involve oxygeninvolve oxygen Oxidation
Loss of electrons Substance becomes “oxidized”
Reduction Gain of electrons Substance becomes “reduced”
