Question 1
1.

What is the name of the type of reaction that occurs when two substances join together to form a single product?

Question 2
2.

In what type of reaction does one product break down to form 2 new products?

Question 3
3.

In a synthesis reaction, 2 nonmetals join together to form a(n) _________ compound (what type).

Question 4
4.

Binary compounds decompose into ______.

Question 5
5.

A metal plus a nonmetal produces a(n) _____ compound (what type).

Question 6
6.

Question 7
7.

Question 8
8.

Metal carbonates break down into ______ and ______.

Question 9
9.

Nonmetal oxides react with water to produce ______.

Question 10
10.

Metal hydroxides break down into ______ and ______.

When writing equations into Formative:

Place a "space" between coefficients and formulas, between "+" signs and formulas.
example: 2 H2 + O2

Place a "space" between formulas and states of matter and make sure states of matter are in parentheses.
example: O2 (g)

For the reaction "arrow", use "two dashed lines" and a "greater than" sign and make sure there is a space before and after the arrow.
example: O2 --> 2 H2O

Final equation: 2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
OR 2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O

*** If you use these rules, then Formative will grade your work correctly and you will get all your points.

In the following synthesis reactions, predict the products.

a) Write balanced chemical equations.

b) States of matter can be left off.

c) See above on how to properaly write equations into Formative.
