 * INTRODUCTION TO THE REACTION TYPES:**

= =

In chemistry there are Five main types of chemical reactions that take place between compounds and/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. Decomposition reactions are the break down of more complex compounds into two or more elements or more basic compounds. Single Displacment reactions are reactions where a lone element replaces another element in a compound. Similarly, Double dicplacment reactions invlove the swaping of the anions and cations, respectivly, in in two or more compounds. Finaly, Combustion Reactions are characterized by the resulting biproducts of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
