| A | B |
| spectator ions | do not take part in reaction |
| acid | produces H ^ + ions in water |
| salt | an ionic compound |
| oxidation-reduction reaction | electrons are transferred |
| double-displacement reaction | AB (aq) + CD (aq) -> AD (s) + CB (aq) |
| acid-base reaction | produces water |
| single-replacement reaction | A + BC -> B + AC |
| combustion reaction | produces CO2 + H2O |
| synthesis (combination) reaction | A + B -> AB |
| decomposition reaction | AB -> A + B |
| base | produces OH- ions in water |
| strong electrolyte | completely dissociates in water |
| nonelectrolyte | does not dissociate in water |
