What are the definition of the three types of chemical reactions?

Question

Mateo Aguilar · Accepted Answer

Take your pick:
Displacement
Combustion
Neutralization
Combination
Decomposition

In a displacement reaction , an ion (or atom) in a compound is #color(red)("replaced")# by an ion (or atom) of another element. A combustion reaction is a reaction in which a substance #color(red)("reacts with oxygen")#, usually with the release of heat and light to produce a flame. A neutralization reaction is a reaction #color(red)("between an acid and a base")# Generally, aqueous acid-base reactions produce water and a salt A combination reaction is a reaction in which #color(red)("two or more substances combine")# to form a single product. Decomposition reactions are the opposite of combination reactions. Specifically, a decomposition reaction is the #color(red)("breakdown of a compound")# into two or more components.

Noah Aldrich · Answer

undefined Chemical reactions can be classified into three types: 1. Synthesis reactions, which involve the combination of two or more substances to form a new compound; 2. Decomposition reactions, which involve the breakdown of a single compound into two or more simpler substances; and 3. Single displacement reactions, which involve the replacement of one element with another in a compound to create a new compound and a different element.
