Chemistry Lesson: Types of Chemical Reactions

Your chemistry class set up six different redox reactions in the lab. Inquisitors methodically test each one and eventually order them according to oxidizing strength. This is a neat way to have the learners perform more than one...

Advanced chemistry courses typically cover organic reactions. On this reference sheet, the five types of organic reaction mechanisms are explained and an example is shown.  For each, there is also a diagram of the chemical reaction...

Somehow 55 chemistry problems have been squished onto a single page! Don't assume that it is a mess, however. High school chemists write the products for different types of reactions. Then they identify the type of reaction in addition...

Scratch and sniff an introduction to organic chemical reactions. A creative instructional activity has individuals study the esters commonly used in scratch-and-sniff stickers and advertisements. Following the lab procedure, scholars...

The details here give definitions about chemical reactions and the energy transfer in those reactions. The reactions given include general examples of catalysts, inhibitors, and other situations that affect the rate of production and...

What happened when the chemistry teacher told a bad joke? There was no reaction! A creative take on the traditional reaction types lesson invites learners to draw their own conclusions about how compounds and elements combine. Groups...

This lesson will demonstrate how to identify a precipitation reaction and determine whether or not it will occur by using several examples. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Chemical Reaction Types: Double Displacement (Precipitation)."

This lesson will show how to write a complete ionic equation and by omitting spectator ions a net ionic equation can be written. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Chemical Reaction Types: Net Ionic Equation."

This lesson will show that a combustion reaction is a hydrocarbon burned in oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Chemical Reaction Types: Combustion."

Excite classes with a STEM project-based learning lesson covering chemical reactions. Groups study the different types through simulations and hands-on activities. They pick one type (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double...
