More To Know!
✧ Combination Reaction ➝ When two or more substances combine to form a single product, the reaction is called Combination Reaction.
✧ Decomposition Reaction ➝ When a single reactant break down to give simpler products, the reaction is called Decomposition Reaction.
✧ Displacement Reaction ➝ When more reactive element displaces the less reactive element, this reaction is called Displacement Reaction.
