Read Nelson 4.1 - Introduction to Chemical Reactions
Balancing Chemical Equations
Attempt to balance specific types of chemical reactions: combination, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. While balancing the reactions, the number of atoms on each side is presented as visual, histogram, and numerical data. Complete the assessment questions and check your solutions. |
