So there are basically five types of chemical reactions which have their general formulas.

They are:
1. Combination reaction
General formula : A+B = AB

2. Decomposition reaction
General formula: AB = A+B

3. Single displacement reaction
General formula: AB+C = CB + A

4. Double displacement reaction
General formula: AB+CD = CB+AD

5. Acid-base reaction
General formula: A+B = S+W


You should check and compare with examples.
