Question 8.

Explain the following terms with examples.

Combination reaction


Answer:

Combination reaction: When two or more reactants combine in a reaction to form a single product, it is called a combination reaction.



For example: A magnesium strip is heated in the presence of air to form a new product, i.e., magnesium oxide (MgO)


Mg + O2→ MgO


In the above reaction, the combination of Mg and O2 leads to the formation of manganese oxide.
