A chemical reaction is a process where one or more substances (reactants) transform into one or more new substances (products) through breaking and forming chemical bonds.
Types Of Chemical Reaction
Synthesis Reaction
Decomposition Reaction
Displacement Reaction
Synthesis Reaction
Two or more reactants form 1 product
Example -: 2H2 + 02 = 2H20
The term "synthesis" talks about combination of something
Decomposition Reaction
A single compound breaks into 2 or 3 substances
Example - 2H2O2 - 2H2 + O2
The term decomposes means by "breaking up"
Displacement Reaction
A more reactive element displaces a less reactive one in a compound.
Example - When a reactive element displaces the non reactive one
