Types of Chemical Reactions

1. Synthesis reactions -when smaller atoms and/or molecules combine to make larger ones.
A + B → AB

2. Decomposition reactions -occur when larger molecules aplit into elements or smaller molecules.
AB → A + B

3. Single displacement reactions -occur when on element replaces another in a compound.
A + Bx → Ax + B

4. Double displacement reactions -occur when element in two different compounds replace each other.
Ax + By → Bx + Ay

5. Combustion reaction -occur when a substance rearts very quickly with oxygen +, produce oxides.
fuel + oxygen → oxides + energy
oprpane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water rapour
