1. Types of Chemical Reactions

2. Synthesis • Synthesis: to join together A + B  AB Mg + O2  MgO H2 + O2  H2O

3. Decomposition • Decomposition: to break apart A B  A + B KClO3  KCl + O2 H2O2  H2O + O2

4. Single Displacement • Single Displacement: when one element replaces one other element A + BC  B + AC Mg + HCl  H2 + MgCl2

5. Double Displacement • Double Displacement: when two elements switch places AB + CD  CB + AD KI + CuNO3  CuI2 + KNO3

6. Combustion • Combustion: When a Carbon based compound (hydrocarbon) combines with Oxygen to make CO2 and H2O CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O
