1. Synthesis Reaction You’re at a dance, and see someone you’d like to meet, walk up and ask to dance

3. Synthesis Reaction

4. A + B  AB Substances join to form more complex compounds Example: Na + Cl  NaCl Sodium + Chlorine  Sodium Chloride

5. Decomposition Reaction The guy you just met turns out to be a real jerk...

7. Decomposition Reaction

8. Decomposition Reaction AB  A + B Substances break down into smaller parts 2H 2 O  2H 2 + O 2 Water  Hydrogen + Oxygen

9. Single Displacement Reaction You’re at a dance and you see a real hot babe you’d like to meet but she’s dancing with another guy So you ask to cut in...

11. You both shake on it. After all you are living in a civilized world

12. He leaves...

13. You move in... Single Displacement Reaction

14. Single Displacement XA + B  BA + X Elements trade places For example: 3CuCl 2 + 2Al  2AlCl 3 + 3 Cu The Al trades places with Cu and pairs up with Cl.

15. Double Displacement Reaction You’re at a dance with a hot babe and you see your friend dancing with a really hot babe. You figure he might want to meet your girl (after all, to each his own taste) So you go over and ask to switch partners

18. You both go over...

19. Hey Dawg, ‘sup?...

20. Me ‘n’ Ozzy wanna know if y’all wanna switch..

21. Sounds like a plan, Stan

22. The girls shake on it, no harm no foul

23. Double Displacement Reaction

24. Double Displacement AX + BY  AY + BX Ions exchange between compounds FeS + 2HCl  H 2 S + FeCl 2 The Fe exchanges places with H
