DETAILS ABOUT FOUR TYPES OF REACTIONS
EXAMPLES OF FOUR TYPES OF REACTIONS
3. Is a reaction in which two or more substances
are combine to form a new single substances.
EXAMPLE: when reacting sodium(Na) and
chlorine(Cl) they form sodium chloride(NaCl).
Na + Cl NaCl
4. Is a reaction in which a
compound breaks down into
two or more simpler
substances.
◦ They need lot of energy to
break down.
5. Is a reaction in which one element replaces a similar element
in a compound.
The general form of a single-replacement (also called single-
displacement) reaction is.
A + BC AC+B
In this general reaction, Element A is a metal replace element
replaces element B, also a metal, in the compound.
6. Is a reaction in which a substance
reacts with oxygen gas, releasing
