What the four types of chemical changes?

Combustion:Rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen; produces heat, light, and new substances. Examples are Gas, Oil, or coal burning in a furnaceElectrolysis:Use of electricity to break a compound into elements or simpler compounds. Examples are breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen.Oxidation:Slow combination of a substance with oxygen. Examples are rusting of an iron fence.Tarnishing:Slow combination of a bright metal with sulfur or another substance, producing a dark coating on the metal. Example is tarnishing of brass.
