Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination reaction: involves the combination of two or more substances to form a single compound.
- Displacement reaction: occurs when one element replaces another in a compound.
- Exchange reaction (or double displacement reaction): involves the exchange of ions between two compounds to form two new compounds.
- Substitution reaction: a single element replaces another in a compound.
- Ion exchange reaction: two compounds exchange ions to form new compounds.
- Decomposition reaction: involves the breakdown of a single compound into two or more simpler substances.
