Types Of Chemical Reactions

Combustion Reaction

CxHy + O2 → H2O + CO2

Combustion: A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction that involves hydrogen and oxygen.

Decomposition Reaction

AB → A + B

Decomposition: A decomposition reactions is when a single compound breaks down into two or more products.

Synthesis Reaction

A + B → AB

Synthesis: A synthesis reaction is when two different atoms or molecules interact to form a new molecule or compound.

Double Replacement Reaction

AB + CD → AD + CB

Double replacement: A double replacement reaction is when two compounds react to form two new compounds.

Single Replacement Reaction

A + BC → AC + B

Single replacement: A single replacement reaction is when an element and compound react to form a different element and compound.
