=**Five Reaction Types**=

There are five different types of chemical reactions, which include, synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single displacement, and double displacement. Synthesis is most likely the easiest to understand equation. It's when two or more substances are combined to produce a single, more complex substance. Decomposition is when a single substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances. Combustion is when a substance rapidly combines with oxygen to produce one or more oxides. Single displacement is a reaction in which the positive ion of one compound replaces the positive ion of the other compound to produce two new compounds. Finally, single displacement is a reaction in which a free atom becomes an ion and an ion becomes a free element.
