🤔The 5 reaction types
- Combination: Two or more substances join to form ONE new product (A + B → AB).
- Decomposition: ONE substance breaks apart into two or more simpler ones (AB → A + B).
- Displacement: A more reactive element pushes a less reactive one out of its compound.
- Double Displacement: Two compounds swap partners with each other (AB + CD → AD + CB).
- Oxidation (Burning): A substance gains oxygen — like fuels burning in air.
