Combination Reaction

Types of Chemical Reactions:

Chemical reactions are of different types. Some of them are described here.

Combination Reactions:

The reactions in which two or more substances combine to produce a single substance are known as combination reactions or synthesis reactions. This may be represented by:

 x+yrightarrow xy

Case I

When two elements combine to form a compound. Examples

(i) Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water.

2H_2 + O_2 rightarrow 2H_2O  

(ii) When magnesium burns in air or oxygen, magnesium oxide is formed. 

2Mg+O_2 rightarrow 2MgO     

(iii)  Sodium combines with chlorine to form sodium chloride.

2Na + Cl_2rightarrow 2NaCI
