Investigating Chemical Reactions: Types of Chemical Reactions

The video tutorial explains how chemical reactions are classified based on their similarities. It introduces synthesis reactions, where two or more substances combine to form a more complex compound, with examples like carbon dioxide reacting with water and magnesium burning in oxygen. It also covers decomposition reactions, where a complex substance breaks down into simpler substances, exemplified by hydrogen peroxide decomposing into water and oxygen gas. The tutorial highlights the reverse nature of synthesis and decomposition reactions.
