5 Types of Chemical Reactions

In chemistry there are Five main types of chemical reactions that take place between compounds or elements. These types of reactions are Synthesis, Decomposition, Single Displacement, Double Displacement, and Combustion. Synthesis Reactions are the combination of two or more elements or compounds to make a new compound of a more complex nature(A+B-->AB). Then there areDecomposition reactions which is the break down of more complex compounds into two or more elements or more basic compounds(AB-->A+B). Also there is Single Displacment reactions which are reactions where a lone element replaces another element in a compound. Similarly(A+BC-->AC+B), Double dicplacment reactions invlove the swaping of the anions and cations, respectivly, in in two or more compounds(AB+CD-->CB+AD). Finally, Combustion Reactions are characterized by the resulting biproducts of carbon dioxide and water vapor(A+O2-->CO2+H2O).
