Isomerisation is the chemical reaction in which a chemical
reactant undergoes a structural rearrangement and no change in
its net atomic composition; Direct combination or synthesis
Direct combination is the chemical reaction in which 2 or more
chemical reactant combined to form a more complex product:
Example : N2 + 3 H2 ? 2 NH3 Chemical decomposition or analysis
Chemical decomposition is the chemical reaction in which
reactant is decomposed into smaller compounds or elements: >
Example : 2 H2O ? 2 H2 + O2 > Single displacement or
substitution, Single displacement is the chemical reaction in
which reactant is displaced out of a compound by a more reactive
element: > Example : 2 Na(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ? 2 NaCl(aq) + H2(g)
Metathesis or double displacement reaction> Double displacement
is the chemical reaction in which reactant exchange ions or
bonds to form different compounds: > Example: NaCl(aq) +
AgNO3(aq) ? NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s) Chemical Kinetics deal with
