Question

The reaction in which an element and a compound combine to form a single product is called a

• A. decomposition reaction
• B. displacement reaction
• C. synthesis reaction
• D. double displacement reaction

Answer 1

The correct option is C

synthesis reaction

Explanation for the correct answer:

• Synthesis reaction or a combination reaction is a type of reaction in which 2 or more reactants combine to form a simple product.

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

• In decomposition reaction, one reactant decomposes or breaks into more than one product.
• In displacement reaction, a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.
• In double displacement reaction, there is an exchange of ions between the reactants.

Therefore, option (c) synthesis reaction is correct.
