This document discusses three types of chemical reactions: displacement reactions, double displacement reactions, and decomposition reactions. Displacement reactions occur when one element replaces another in a compound. Double displacement reactions involve the switching of cations and anions between two compounds. Decomposition reactions involve a single compound breaking down into simpler substances. Examples of each type of reaction are provided along with explanations.

A displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in
which one element or ion in a compound is replaced by another element or ion. This type of reaction typically occurs between a metal and a non-metal.
Example 1-: Zinc + Hydrochloric
acid - Zinc Chloride + Hydrogen gas Explanation: In this reaction, zinc displaces hydrogen to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. This is a classic example of a single displacement reaction.
Example 2-: Copper + Silver Nitrate -
Copper Nitrate + Silver Explanation: In this reaction, copper displaces silver to form copper nitrate and silver. This is another example of a single displacement reaction.
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION-
A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical
reaction in which the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places, forming two new compounds. Example 1-: sodium Chloride + Silver Nitrate - Sodium Nitrate + Silver Chloride Explanation: In this reaction, sodium and silver switch places to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride. This is an example of a double displacement reaction.
Example 2-:Barium Chloride + Sodium
Sulfate - Barium Sulfate + Sodium Chloride Explanation: In this reaction, barium and sodium switch places to form barium sulfate and sodium chloride. This is another example of a double displacement reaction.
Decomposion reaction-
A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical
eaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Example 1-:Hydrogen Peroxide - Water + Oxygen gas Explanation: In this reaction, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas. This is an example of a decomposition reaction.
Example 2-:Potassium Chlorate - Potassium
Chloride + Oxygen gas Explanation: In this reaction, potassium chlorate breaks down into potassium chloride and oxygen gas. This is another example of a decomposition reaction.
