Question

What happens in a combination reaction? Explain.

Answer 1

Combination reaction:

• When more than two reactants react together to form a new product, this type of reaction is known as a combination reaction.
• It is also known as a synthesis reaction.
• General reaction for combination reaction is given as:

$\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\to \mathrm{AB}$

Example:

• When Sodium metal reacts with chlorine, sodium chloride$\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$ is formed.
• The reaction is given as:

$2\mathrm{Na}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to \mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$
