In this video I explore 6 different reaction types and illustrate each one with a chemical reaction and molecular modeling. (That is, I blow something up, then show what the atoms are doing.) I also discuss how to identify each reaction by comparing the reactants with the products.
*Some of these reactions- especially the ones involving fire- are extremely dangerous. Please do not try them at home. I am a trained professional and have taken special safety precautions in these demonstrations.
