Decomposition and Synthesis

IQ1: What are the products of a chemical reaction?

Students:

● use modelling to demonstrate

– the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances

– the conservation of atoms in a chemical reaction (ACSCH042, ACSCH080)

● construct balanced equations to represent chemical reactions

● conduct investigations to predict and identify the products of a range of reactions, for example:

– synthesis

– decomposition
