The 5 kinds of reactions are synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single displacement and double displacement. Synthesis is two or more elements reacting to make one compound or molecule. Decomposition is the reaction where one compound reacts in either heat or electricity to break down into simpilar substances. Combustion is where heat is involved and it consists of H2O adn CO2. Single displacement is where two compounds react and a stronger metal from one the reactants replaces the other one in the comppound. Double displacement is where two metals and two reactants switch places.
