  1. Synthesis: A + B= AB
    1. Reaction between hydrogen and a nonmetal

      H2 (g) + Cl2 = 2HCl(g)
    2. Metal-Nonmetal Reactions
      2Na (s) + Cl2 (g) = 2NaCl (s)
    3. Metal oxide-water reactions
      CaO (s) + H2 O (l) = Ca(OH)2 (s)
    4. Nonmetal oxide-water reactions
      SO2 (g) + H2 O (l) = H2 SO3 (aq)
  2. Decomposition
    1. Binary Compounds AB- heat/electricity = A + B
      2HO (s) + heat = 2Hg (l) + O2 (g)
    2. Metallic carbonates MCO3 = MO + CO2
      CaCO3 (s) + heat = CaO (s) + CO2 (g)
    3. Metallic hydrogen Carbonates MHCO3 = MO = H2O + CO2
      You should be able to follow the examples prior to this equation now
    4. Metallic hydroxides MOH = MO + H2O
    5. Metallic chlorates decompose MClO3 = MCl + O2
    6. Hydrate decomposition AB times xH2O = AB + xH2O
    7. Peroxide
      2H2O2 (l) + heat or catalyst = 2H2O (l) + O2 (g)
  3. Single Replacement: A + BC = AC + B
    1. Metal - Metal replacement
    2. Active Metal + water reactions
    3. Metal - Acid reactions
    4. Halide-Halide reactions
  4. Double Replacement: AB + CD = AD + BC
    1. Formation of a Precipitate from solution
    2. Formation of a gas
    3. Acid -Base Neutralization Reaction
