Types of Reaction

 There are so many

kinds of reactions
that occur in nature.
 To distinguish one
reaction from another
and to predict the
possible products of
the reaction, chemical
reactions are grouped
into four.
Types of Chemical
Reactions
 Combination /synthesis
 Decomposition
 Single Replacement
 Double Replacement
Types: Synthesis

Ex. C + O2 CO2

C O O O C O
CC O O O C O
O O C O
C C C OC OOC C OCO
O OO CO O
OO OO
OOO
General: A + B → AB
Types: Decomposition
Ex. 2HgO
2Hg + O2

O Hg Hg
→ O O
+
O Hg Hg

General: AB → A + B
Types: Single Replacement

Ex. Zn + CuCl2 ZnCl2 + Cu

Cu Zn
Cl Cl + Zn → Cl Cl + Cu

General: AB + C → AC + B
Types: Double replacement

Ex. MgO + CaS MgS + CaO

Mg Ca Mg Ca
+ → +
O S S O

General: AB + CD → AD + CB

A+B
reactants
AB
Product
 → this means “produces” or “yields”
 Synthesis occur when two or more
reactants interact to form a single product
Decomposition

 Reactions involve breaking of a large

particle into smaller substance. This
indicates that this type of reaction
has a single reactant producing two
or more products.
 Single replacement
 A more active uncombined or free
element reacts with a compound by
displacing the less active metal or
nonmetal on in the substance .
