Title: Dry reactions
Post by: peppermint on February 02, 2024, 08:45:59 PM

What are the different types of dry reactions in chemistry?
I have been searching and there is no specific answer and it is not in my reference books.

What do you mean by "types"? Are you looking for examples, or for some kind of classification?

There are 3 types of reactions: Ones that water interferes with, ones that is indifferent to water, and ones that need water to work at all :).

Within each are hundreds of "named" reactions.
