In a double replacement reaction parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Two reactants yield two products. For example when silver nitrate combines with sodium chloride, two new compounds--silver chloride and sodium nitrate are formed because the sodium and silver switched places.
Decomposition Reaction Defined. A chemical reaction is a process by which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances. There are many types of chemical reactions. These reactions are often classified by what they form or what happens during the course of the reaction.A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.hese reactions are often classified by what they form or what happens during the course of the reaction.
