Okay, today we will learn about equations, how to write them, how to balance them and the five most common types of equations. The easiest is called Synthesis, this is when two elements bond to form a compound. Next up is decomposition, or decomp for short. Decomp is when a compound breaks up into smaller chunks. everyone has seen Combustion or better known as burning. Combustion is when a reaction causes H20 and CO2 to be released. Then theres two types of reactions that are very similar, Single and Double displacement. this is just when a more reactive takes element the place of a less reactive element in a compound. if one element is switched its single displacement, if two its double. Trust me, the hardest part is balancing these equations. view our free how to guide before reading the different types of chemical reactions for some free information on how to properly apply the different types.
