Solution

(a) Chemical combination reaction:

Combination of two or more elements or compounds to give a single compound.

2H2+O22H2O
N2+3H22NH3
(b.) Endothermic reaction

During such reactions, energy is absorbed. The enthalpy of products is higher than the enthalpy of reactants.
N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)ΔH=+180.5 kJ
(c). Oxidation reaction

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in the oxidation number or loss of oxygen.
NaNa++e

Thus Na atom loses one electron and is oxidised to Na+ ions.
