Card sort - types of reactions

Synthesis 2 or more elements combine to A + B → AB

form one compound

Decomposition 1 compound is broken down into 2 AB → A + B

or more simpler elements or
compounds

Single 1 element takes the place of A + BC → B + AC

Replacement another in a compound

Double Ions from 2 ionic compounds AB + CD → CB + AD

Replacement switch places

Combustion A compound burns in oxygen gas CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O

and releases carbon dioxide and
water
