Types of Chemical Reactions

Reactants Products 2Li(s) + F2(g) 2LiF(s) Synthesis Reactions Reactants Products 2Li(s) + F2(g) 2LiF(s)

NaCl Crystal

Reactants Products 2Li(s) + F2(g)  2LiF(s) Synthesis Reaction Reactants Products 2Li(s) + F2(g)  2LiF(s) Note the 2 in front of the Li on the reactant side and the 2 in front of the LiF on the product side are called a coefficients.

Synthesis Reaction 2Li(s) + Br2(l)  2LiBr (s) Lithium Bromide

Synthesis Reaction 2Li(s) + Cl2(g)  2 LiCl(s) Lithium Chloride Sodium plus Iodine 

Synthesis Reactions Na(s) + I2(s) 

Synthesis Reactions 2Al(s) + 3S(s)  Al2S3(s)

Synthesis 2Mg(s) + O2(g)  2MgO(s) Magnesium Oxide
