What are 5 types of chemical reactions and give example for each?
Decomposition reactions Combination reactions (Synthesis reactions) Single-replacement reactions (Displacement reactions) Double-replacement reactions (Metathesis reactions) Combustion reactions In a combination reaction, two or more elements or compounds combine chemically to form a new compound. By contrast, a single reactant is the identifying characteristic of a decomposition reaction. Usually in a decomposition reaction, a compound is decomposed into two or more elements or compounds. When oxygen reacts with a compound composed of the elements carbon and hydrogen, a combustion reaction takes place. If all the carbon in the product is present as carbon dioxide, the reaction is complete combustion. If carbon monoxide is formed, the reaction is incomplete combustion. The other two types of chemical reactions are single-replacement and double-replacement reactions. In a single-replacement reaction an element replaces another element in a compound. A new compound and a new element are
