[[chemistry]] **main types** synthesis decomposition single displacement double displacement combustion # synthesis just two substances coming together to form a compound, reactant + reactant -> # single displacement requires the replacee to havea a lower activity series than the replacer # Double Displacement double displacement is a reaction of 2 compounds pos and negs switch places to form new stuff only works with ionics only occurs if one of 3 propduces is formed - percipitate (s) - gas (g) - covalent compound such as water (l) # Combustion is hydrocarbon react with oxygen to create co2 and h2o
