This video breaks down six fundamental types of chemical reactions. We explore combination reactions where substances unite to form a single product, and decomposition reactions where compounds break down into simpler elements or compounds. The excitement continues with single replacement reactions, where one element trades places with another in a compound, and double replacement reactions, where parts of two compounds swap to create two new compounds. We'll also light up the topic of combustion reactions, which involve substances reacting with oxygen to release energy as light and heat. Lastly, we tackle neutralization reactions where acids and bases react to form water and a salt.
