• The general reaction is: $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\to \mathrm{AB}$
• Example- $\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}}{\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Oxygen}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
• In the above reaction, carbon reacts with oxygen to form a single product Carbon dioxide.
