A common clasiffication of the chemical reactions is as combination (or synthesis), decomposiion, single replacement and double replacement. Knowing the reactants and products you can tell to which one of those four classifications a reaction pertains. When two reactants combine into a single product, it is a combination (syntheisis) reaction. When a single reactant yields two or more products, it is a decomposition reaction. When the cation of a single element, replaces the cation in a compound, it is a single replacement. When the cations of two different reactants exchange and end combined with the anions of the others compounds, it is a double replacement reaction.

Knowing the reactants and products can help you classify a chemical reaction base on the nature of the atoms in the substances involved and the number of substances involved. For instance, when you are given two reactants and only one product is made then you can classify it as a synthesis reaction. Another would be if an organic compound is readteed with oxygen, CO2 and water is produced then you can classify it as a combustion reaction

Why does sodium form a 1+ ion but magnesium forms a 2+ ion
NARA [144]
Because Na has one too many electron to be stable, while Mg has 2. once they loose those electrons, they will be come ion. loosing one electron will give the ion a 1+ charge, and loosing 2 will create a 2+ charge

Nuclear fission differs from nuclear fission because nuclear fusion reactions
velikii [3]
<span>Nuclear reactions have two main types: fission reactions and fusion reactions.  When two light nuclei are joined to create a heavier and more stable nucleus, this process is called the fusion reaction. In the fission reaction, the heavy nucleus split into two nuclei with a smaller mass number.  In other words, fission is splitting of atoms although not all atoms undergo fission, only few went through normal circumstances (that is a fact).  </span>
