Exploring Major Types of Chemical Reactions

This video tutorial covers common types of chemical reactions, including combination, decomposition, combustion, oxidation-reduction, single replacement, and double replacement reactions. Each type is explained with examples, focusing on their characteristics and how to balance them. The tutorial also introduces key concepts like electron transfer in redox reactions and the formation of ionic compounds in combination reactions.
