Depending on Conditions a Reaction Can Occur Either Way. This is Shown with the ⇌ Symbol.
Exothermic
Heat Given Out From a Reation
Endothermic

R.E.D.O.X
Reduction and Oxidation Happen at the Same Time
Cracking
Thermal Decomposition Reaction Which Breaks long Chain Hydrocarbons into Alkanes and Alkenes of Smaller Chains
Displacement
Removing Something Such as Water in a Mass Experiment or Reactive Materials in a R.E.D.O.X Reaction
Limiting Reactant
