Solution

In general, chemical reactions occur because reactants are trying to become more stable in nature.

Chemical reaction occurs as a result of breaking and making of bonds resulting in redistribution of atoms among various reacting species in different ways.

Accordingly the reactions are classified in different types. They are –

(1) Combination reaction or synthesis reaction

(2) Decomposition reaction/Analysis reaction

(3) Displacement reaction

(4) Double displacement reaction/Methasis reaction

(5) Oxidation and Reduction reaction.
