When magnesium is burnt in the presence of oxygen, the magnesium and oxygen combine to form the compound magnesium oxide. Therefore, this would be a combination combustion.

Different types of chemical reaction?

I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.


What about combustion reaction makes them different from either synthesis or decomposition reaction?

The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.

How are explosions different from other chemical reactions?

Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction, because it is a reaction between a molecule and oxygen (O2) to produce a new molecule plus CO2 (if it's a complete combustion) or CO (if it is an incomplete combustion). Combustion is also an exothermic reaction, which means that heat is released.
