Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the types of chemical reactions that occur in nature

Chemical reactions that occur in nature are as follows:

a) Combination Reaction

Here, elements or compounds in nature chemically combine to produce new permanent substances in nature

b) Decomposition Reaction

In a decomposition reaction, there is a mechanism in which the substance in nature breaks down into constituents. In a way, it is the opposite of a combination reaction

c) Combustion Reaction

In a combustion reaction, organic materials burn in oxygen to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water

d) Single Replacement Reaction

In a single replacement reaction, an element or a part of a compound as an ionic component is replaced by another entity

e) Double Replacement Reaction

In a double replacement reaction, two compounds react and there is an exchange of entities between the two reactants to give products in which there would have been an exchange between the reactants
