Carbon Footprints

synthesis-chemical reactions form a molecule from precursors

decomposition-dead tissues of an organism break down into simpler forms of matter

single-replacement-when an element or ion moves out of one compound to another

double replacement-processwhere bonds exchange between two reacting chemical species

combustion-when exothermic chemical reactions between an oxidant and a fuel accompanied by heat and conversion of chemical species
