What Are The 5 Basic Reactions? [Solved]

Well, there are five main types of chemical reactions: combination, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement and combustion. Put simply, combination reactions involve two or more substances combining to form a new one; decomposition is the opposite - breaking down a substance into two or more simpler ones; single displacement is when one element takes the place of another in a compound; double displacement involves two compounds swapping elements; and combustion is when oxygen combines with another substance to produce heat and light.
