Types of Chemical Reactions

A chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Example: $$P + O_2 → P_4O_{10}$$ .

A chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. Example: $$HgO → Hg + O_2$$ .

A chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: $$Cl_2 + NaBr → NaCl + Br_2$$ .

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

A chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat. Example: $$CH_4 + O_2 → CO_2 + H_2O$$ .
