There is a huge difference between reacting and responding. A reaction istypically quick, without much thought, tense and aggressive. A response is thought out, calm and non-threatening. A reactiontypically provokes more reactions – perpetuating a long line of hatefulness with nothing accomplished.

Response is a noun.It means to reply or answer.
For instance-
1.Waiting for your response.
Here response is a thing.
2.I gave a response to his letter.

Respond is a verb.It is applied while describing the action of replying.
For instance-
1. He did not respond to my email.
Here respond is a verb. (His action towards my email).
2. I will respond to your email when I am back.

To clarify more, both words are used in a single sentence.
He always responds my email and his responses are brief and logical.
