Combination reaction |
A Combination Reaction or a Synthesis Reaction is a general category of a chemical reaction (the term usually refers to an inorganic chemical reaction), in which two or more reagents are chemically bonded together to produce a single product.
A combination reaction can be of three types:
a) Between 2 elements
b) Between 2 compounds
c) Between an element and a compound
Examples:
a) 2Mg+O2 → 2MgO
b) O+H2O → H2O2
c) 2C(s) +2O2(g) → 2CO2 (g)
d) CaO+H2O → Ca(OH)2
