Major Types of Chemical Reactions (Explanation, Examples, & Practice)

In this video we'll look at the major types of chemical reactions. For each type of reaction there is an explanation, examples, and then practice. By the end of the video you'll be an expert at identify the major types of chemical reactions.

Being able to determine the type of reaction by looking at reactants can help in predicting the outcome of the chemical reaction.

--Type of Reactions--

Synthesis (Combination): A + B → AB
Decomposition: AB → A + B
Single Replacement : A + BC → B + AC
Double Replacement: AB + CD → AD + BC
Combustion: CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Neutralization: HX + MOH → MX + H2O
Reduction-Oxidation (Redox): Electrons are exchanged. Many of the above reactions are also redox.
Endothermic and Exothermic: Reactions that take in (endo) or give off heat (exo).
It is not necessary to balance KI + Br2 = KBr + I2 in order to determine the type of reaction, although it makes more sense with the equation is balanced.
