What is AB→A+B?
Two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance.
What is combination reaction?
Electrolysis of Water. Water breaks into hydrogen and oxygen gases when an electric current is passed through it
What is decomposition reaction?

What is single displacement?
An element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound
What Single displacement reaction?
Copper and Silver Nitrate: When a copper wire is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, silver crystals form on the wire, and copper nitrate is produced.
What is single displacement reaction?
The general formula for combination reaction.
What is A+B →AB?
This type of reaction involves two compounds react, and their ions exchange places to form two new compounds.
What is Double Displacement Reaction?
Formation of Precipitate. When solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, silver chloride precipitate and sodium nitrate are formed.
What is Double Displacement reaction?
