The Five Common Reaction Types

There are five common reaction types in chemistry. They can all be clearly be portrayed through chemical equations and sentences. The five types are Synthesis, Double Displacement, Single-Displacement, Decomposition, and Combustion. Synthesis is probably the simplest, where the two reactants (at the beginning of the equation) simply come together to form a product. Decomposition is the opposite of synthesis, taking a singular substance that creates two separate substances. Single Displacement normally involves three elements. On the reactants side of the equation, there is a lone element and a compound, on the other side the metals switch to create a new type of compound and a new separate element. Similar to single displacement, Double Displacement has two compounds on each side of the equation, on the products side, the metals switch from where they were in the reactant side, to put it briefly. In a Combustion reaction, there is always oxygen, hydrogen, and for the most part carbon involved. A substance will combine with oxygen and form some other substance and water.
