What happens in a combination reaction? Explain.

Answer:

A reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product is known as a combination reaction. Combination reaction is also known as a synthesis reaction.

Let us consider X and Y as reactants then the general formula for combination reaction is,

X + Y → XY

Examples of combination reaction

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Ba + F₂→ BaF₂

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
