Practice and Revision - Chemical Changes and Reactions
Let us practise and revise what we learned about chemical changes and reactions. Chemical reactions transform reactants into products throug
Core concept
A combination reaction forms one product from two or more reactants, like hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water.
How it works
A decomposition reaction breaks down one compound into simpler substances, often needing heat, light, or electricity as energy input.
Why it matters
A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element replaces a less reactive one in a compound, like zinc displacing copper from copper sulfate.
Key detail
A double displacement reaction involves an exchange of ions between two compounds, often producing a precipitate (insoluble solid).

Quick notes
• Combination reaction: forms one product from reactants.
• Example: hydrogen + oxygen forms water.
• Decomposition breaks compounds into simpler substances.
• It often needs heat, light or electricity.
• Displacement: reactive element replaces less reactive one.
• Example: zinc displacing copper from copper sulfate.
• Double displacement exchanges ions between compounds.
• This often produces a precipitate.
