During a chemical reaction, the substances that react are known as reactants whereas the substances that are formed during a chemical reaction are known as products. Six common types of chemical reactions are discussed below.
| Types of Chemical Reactions | Explanation | General Reaction |
| Combination reaction | Two or more compounds combine to form one compound. | A + B → AB |
| Decomposition reaction | The opposite of a combination reaction – a complex molecule breaks down to make simpler ones. | AB → A + B |
| Precipitation reaction | Two solutions of soluble salts are mixed resulting in an insoluble solid (precipitate) forming. | A + Soluble salt B → Precipitate + soluble salt C |
| Neutralization reaction | An acid and a base react with each other. Generally, the product of this reaction is a salt and water. | Acid + Base → Salt + Water |
| Combustion reaction | Oxygen combines with a compound to form carbon dioxide and water. These reactions are exothermic, meaning they give off heat. | A + O2 → H2O + CO2 |
| Displacement reaction | One element takes place with another element in the compound. | A + BC → AC + B |
