This type of reaction is the simplest reaction, when two things combine together to make a larger compound 

Generic: A + B → AB 

COMBINATION REACTION

100

Which side of the arrow is showing the REACTANTS? 

Left or Right? 

Left!!

100

Na + Cl→ 2 NaCl

Its not balanced! It needs a 2 in front of Na

Na + Cl→ 2 NaCl

100

What type of Compounds are found in double replacement reactions?

ionic compounds! (elements with different than normal charges!)

100

How do these elements form a balanced compound? 

Mg

Br


MgBr2

200

This type of reaction happens when ONE element is swapped in a compound to create a different compound 

Generic: AB + C → AC + B

SINGLE REPLACEMENT


200

A nonmetal and metal bond creates a __________ compound

An Ionic Bond!

200

2(PO4) + 3Ca →  Ca3(PO4)2 

Yes its balanced!

200

Name the Ionic compound (Hint: NO prefixes, just -ide)

MgBr2

Magnesium Bromide

200

How do these elements form a balanced compound? 

H

Cl



HCl

300

This type of reaction is when one compound breaks down into two smaller elements 

Generic: AB → A + B

DECOMPOSITION REACTION

300

What does it mean for a element to be diatomic?

(Hint: BrINClHOF)

They are too reactive alone so they always come in pairs!

300

2 KClO3 →  2 KCl + 3 O2 

its balanced!

300

What do we call the strip of paper we use to test the pH of acids and Bases?

Litmus Paper

300

How do these elements form a balanced compound? 

Na

(SO4)

Na2(SO4)

400

This reaction happens when a Hydrogen Ion is lost and gained. (HINT: It has a pH value!)

Generic: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

ACID BASE REACTION 

400

This forms when a double replacement reaction creates an insoluble compound (a fancy way to say solid)

A precipitate 

400

HCl + Zn → ZnCl2 + H2

Its NOT balanced! It needs a 2 in front of HCl

HCl + Zn → ZnCl2 + H2

400

How do you count the total atoms when you have a coefficient in front of a compound that has subscripts? 

2 MgCl2 

You MULTIPLY the coefficient to the subscripts 

2 MgCl2  = 2 magnesiums and chlorines

             = 6 total atoms


400

How do these elements form a balanced compound? 

(NH4)

(NO3)

NH4NO3

500

This reaction is when TWO elements swap places to create TWO new compounds

Generic: AB + CD → AD + CB

DOUBLE REPLACEMENT

500

If a chemical reaction obeys the Law of Conservation of Matter, it is said to be _______________ or the reactants equal the products 

balanced

500

5 C + 2 SO2 →  CS2 +  CO

It is NOT balanced! There needs to be a 4 in front of CO

5 C + 2 SO2 →  CS2 + 4 CO

500
