Types of reactions

A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: 3Ca + 2AlCl₃ → 3CaCl₂ + 2Al.

A reaction where one reactant breaks down into two or more products. Example: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂.

A reaction that involves a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Example: C₄H₁₂ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O.

A reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

AB → A + B, where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

A + B → AB, where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

A reaction where two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. Example: AB + CD → AD + CB.

In Single Displacement, one element replaces another; in Double Displacement, two compounds exchange partners.

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, where hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water.
