Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. In choice B, substances A and B are combining to form a more complex product, AB, making it a synthesis reaction. Choices A and C are decomposition reactions, where a complex substance is broken down into simpler substances. Choice D is a reversible reaction where the products can react to reform reactants, and therefore does not fit the criteria for a synthesis reaction.
