Chemical Reactions and Equations
Part 1 — what a reaction is, how to write and balance its equation, and two big families: combination and decomposition.
In this lesson you will
- Spot the signs that a chemical reaction has taken place
- Tell a chemical change from a physical change
- Turn a word equation into a balanced chemical equation with state symbols
- Classify a reaction as combination or decomposition
- Give one example each of thermal, electrolytic and photolytic decomposition
