===About Word Equations===
: In a word equation the [[reactant]]s are on the left and the [[product]]s are on the right.
===Examples===
====Combustion Reactions====
These [[combustion]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] involve [[Electron Sharing|electron sharing]].
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: [[Propane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
====Oxidation Reactions====
[[Oxidation]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] involve [[Electron Transfer|electron transfer]].
: [[Magnesium]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Magnesium Oxide]]
: [[Aluminium]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Aluminium Oxide]]
: [[Iron]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Iron Oxide]]
====Displacement Reactions====
[[Displacement Reaction|Displacement]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] involve [[Electron Transfer|electron transfer]].
: [[Copper Sulphate]] + [[Magnesium]] → [[Magnesium Sulphate]] + [[Copper]]
: [[Iron Chloride]] + [[Calcium]] → [[Calcium Chloride]] + [[Iron]]
: [[Lithium Hydroxide]] + [[Potassium]] → [[Potassium Hydroxide]] + [[Lithium]]
: [[Iron Oxide]] + [[Aluminium]] → [[Aluminium Oxide]] + [[Iron]]
====Neutralisation Reactions====
[[Neutralisation]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] involve [[Proton Transfer|proton transfer]].
: [[Hydrochloric Acid]] + [[Lithium Oxide]] → [[Lithium Chloride]] + [[Water]]
: [[Hydrochloric Acid]] + [[Iron Oxide]] → [[Iron Chloride]] + [[Water]]
: [[Sulphuric Acid]] + [[Potassium Hydroxide]] → [[Potassium Sulphate]] + [[Water]]
: [[Sulphuric Acid]] + [[Aluminium Hydroxide]] → [[Aluminium Sulphate]] + [[Water]]
: [[Nitric Acid]] + [[Magnesium Carbonate]] → [[Magnesium Nitrate]] + [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: [[Nitric Acid]] + [[Titanium Carbonate]] → [[Titanium Nitrate]] + [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
====Thermal Decomposition Reactions====
[[Thermal Decomposition]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] involve both [[Electron Sharing|electron sharing]] and [[Electron Transfer|electron transfer]].
: [[Calcium Carbonate]] → [[Calcium Oxide]] + [[Carbon Dioxide]]
: [[Copper Carbonate]] → [[Copper Oxide]] + [[Carbon Dioxide]]
: [[Zinc Carbonate]] → [[Zinc Oxide]] + [[Carbon Dioxide]]
