4. Molecules and Compounds Some elements exist as individual atoms. Molecules consist of two or more elements joined together. If more than one type of atom is in a molecule, we call it a compound .
5. Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions happen when the atoms in one or more molecules split up and join together in new ways. For example, hydrogen can react with oxygen :

12. Synthesis Means to put together or combine occur when two substances (generally elements ) combine and form a compound. In general: A + B AB Fe + S FeS reactant + reactant 1 product
13. Decomposition In this type of reaction, a substance breaks down into simpler parts when it is heated. 1 Reactant Product + Product In general: AB A + B CuCO 3 heat Cu 2 O + CO 2 For example, copper carbonate will decompose when heated :

15. Double Replacement Occurs when one metal trades places with another one. AgNO 3 + KCl AgCl + KNO 3 Compound + compound product + product In general: AB + CD AD + CB
