Question

explain the different types of reactions which carbon compounds undergoes viz oxidation, combustion and addition

Answer 1

1 combustion reaction
Reaction in which two or more substance combine to from a single product ....
for example
Cao+H2o→Ca(OH)3

2.Decomposition reaction
Reaction in which a compound breaks up or splits up into two or more compound.

→Thermal decomposition reaction
when the decomposition reaction is carried out with the help of heat it is called thermal decomposition reaction
CaCo3→Cao+Co2

→Photolytic decomposition reaction
when the decomposition reaction is carried out with the help of light energy
example
Agcl→Ag+cl

→Electroloytic Decomposition reaction
when the decomposition reaction is carried out with the help of electrical energy
example
Nacl→Na+cl

3.Displacement reaction
Reaction in which higher reactive element displace a low reactive element from its salt solution

4.Double displacement reaction
Type of reaction in which exchange of ions between the reactant takes place
