1. identify the type of reaction.
2. determine the subtype ­ watch for metals or nonmetals; halides = halogens;
binary = 2 atoms; look for polyatomic ions (carbonates, hydroxides, etc.)
3. write the products based on the template given in the reference tables
­MAKE SURE TO "CROSS CHARGES" TO GET THE CORRECT
CHEMICAL FORMULA!!!!!
­don't forget the diatomic molecules (BrINClHOF)
­use roman numerals for transition metals (assume the charges are the same in the
reactants and products)
4. balance the final equation

2. aluminum and bromine
3. potassium and oxygen
4. magnesium and nitrogen
