KEY: M = Metal ; NM = Nonmetal

1. SYNTHESIS:

   • Formation of binary compound: A + B -> AB
   • Metal oxide and water: MO + H₂O -> base
   • Nonmetal oxide and water: (NM)O + H₂O -> acid

2. DECOMPOSITION:

   • Binary compounds: AB -> A + B
   • Metallic carbonates: MCO₃ -> MO + CO₂
   • Metallic hydrogen carbonates: MHCO₃ -> MCO₃ (s) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)
   • Metallic hydroxides: MOH -> MO + H₂O
   • Metallic chlorates: MClO₃ -> MCl + O₂
   • Oxyacids decompose to nonmetal oxides and water: acid -> (NM)O + H₂O

3. SINGLE REPLACEMENT:

   • Metal-Metal replacement: A + BC -> AC + B
   • Active metal replaces H from water: M + H₂O -> MOH + H₂
   • Active metal replaces H from acid: M + HX -> MX + H₂
   • Halide-Halide replacement: D + BC -> BD + C

4. DOUBLE REPLACEMENT: AB + CD -> AD + CB

   • Formation of a precipitate from solution
   • Acid-Base neutralization

5. COMBUSTION REACTION:

   • Hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
