The inorganic reaction types listed and explained below were drawn from many of the available sources:[1][2][3][4][5]

Synthesis reaction: ( also referred to as combination or direct combination or composition reaction)


Decomposition reaction: (also referred to as thermal decomposition reaction)


Single replacement reaction:


Double replacement: (also referred to as metathesis or exchange or ionic reaction)


Acid-base: (also referred to as neutralization)


Oxygen transfer:


Redox:


Precipitation:
