2. Chemical reaction: the make or break of bonds between atoms Although the number of atoms stay the same, the order changes

3. Synthesis: when two or more molecules combine to make one larger molecule A + B → AB Energy is needed to make a synthesis reaction so it named an energy-absorbing reaction Exp.) when you get cut your skin cells synthesize to help you heal

4. Decomposition: when a molecule is broken down into smaller molecules AB → A + B Bonds are always broken, when they are broken energy is released Exp.) digestion of food

5. Exchange: involves both synthesis and decomposition AB + C → AC + B or AB + CD → AD + CB During this reaction a switch is made Different molecules are made Exp.) the body uses this type of reaction to energize reactions that involve ATP
