Question

Which of the following best describes a combination reaction?

A.

A compound breaks down into simpler substances

B.

A reaction where a product releases gas

C.

Two elements combine to form a compound

D.

Ions exchange between two compounds

Correct option is C

Correct option: (c), Two elements combine to form a compound.

A combination reaction (also called a synthesis reaction) is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. It follows the general form: 

A+BABA+B \rightarrow AB 

In a combination reaction:

  • ​Two or more substances (either elements or compounds) react together.
  • The result is a single product, which can be either a compound or a more complex molecule.

​For example, the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to form water is a combination reaction:

2H2+O22H2O2H_2+O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O 

If you have a list of options, feel free to share them, and I can help you identify the one that best describes a combination reaction.
