Chemical reactions involve changes - changes of reactants into products. Basic chemical reactions can be grouped into categories based on the types of changes that are occuring during the reaction. There are five basic categories - synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single replacement, and double replacement. If you know the type of reaction that reactants will involve themselves in, then you can predict the products that will be produced as the result of that reaction.
