A chemical reaction is a process that always results in the interconversion of chemical substances. The 5 common kinds of chemical reactions are Synthesis, Decomposition, Combustion, Single Displacement & Double Displacement. Synthesis is when two or more substances combine to make one. Decomposition happens when a complex substance is separated into simplier substances. Combustion happens when hydrocarbon and oxygen produce CO2 and H2O. Hydrocarbon is a compound of Carbon and Hydrogen. Single Diplacement occurs when an ion replaces with another in a compound. Double Displacement happens when two ions replace each other or switch places in compounds.
