The video tutorial covers five major types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single replacement, and double replacement. Each type is explained with examples, highlighting how to identify and differentiate them. Synthesis involves combining simpler materials to form a complex compound, while decomposition breaks down compounds into simpler substances. Combustion involves burning compounds with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Single replacement involves one element replacing another in a compound, and double replacement involves the exchange of ions between two compounds.
