Typical of inorganic chemical reactions
There is no universally accepted list of the typical, important inorganic reactions. Although there are numerous available sources (books, journal and Internet websites) that include such lists, they all differ to some extent from each other. The inorganic reaction types listed and explained below were drawn from many of the available sources:[1][2][3][4][5]
Synthesis reaction: ( also referred to as combination or direct combination or composition reaction)
Decomposition reaction: (also referred to as thermal decomposition reaction)
Single replacement reaction:
Double replacement: (also referred to as metathesis or exchange or ionic reaction)
Acid-base: (also referred to as neutralization)
Oxygen transfer:
Redox: (also referred to as oxidation-reduction reaction)
Precipitation:
