types of reactions mind map
Combustion
Definition: A reaction where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light, forming carbon dioxide and water.
Pattern: CₓHᵧ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Example: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
Analogy: Lighting a match, where fuel combines with oxygen to release energy in the form of heat and light.
single replacement
Definition: A reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.
Pattern: A + BC → AC + B
Example: Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu
Analogy: Swapping one player in a team for another in the lineup.
synthesis
A reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product.
Pattern: A + B → AB
Analogy: Like putting together pieces of a puzzle to create a single picture.
Precipitation
Double Replacement
Definition: A reaction where two compounds exchange components to form two new compounds.
Pattern: AB + CD → AD + CB
Example: NaCl + AgNO₃ → NaNO₃ + AgCl
Analogy: Two couples trading partners in a dance.
Neutralization
Definition: A reaction between an acid and a base to form water and a salt.
Pattern: HA + BOH → H₂O + BA
Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
Analogy: Balancing a scale where an acid and a base neutralize each other to achieve balance (neutral pH).
Decomposition
Definition: A reaction where a complex molecule breaks down into simpler substances.
Pattern: AB → A + B
Example: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂
Analogy: Breaking apart a Lego structure into individual blocks.
