Types+of+Chemical+Reactions

A chemical reaction is a process that is usually characterized by a chemical change in which the starting materials (reactants) are different from the products. Chemical reactions tend to involve the motion of electrons, leading to the formation and breaking of chemical bonds. There are several different types of chemical reactions and more than one way of classifying them. The classification scheme used here identifies 6 different reaction types (although some of these could be grouped together).
