Combination Reaction : Chemical Reaction

A combination reaction (also called a synthesis reaction) is the reaction of two reactants that combine to form one single product. The reactants are either elements or compounds, in one of three combinations: an element plus an element, an element plus a compound, or a compound plus a compound. Reactions can be endothermic or exothermic, as well as oxidation-reduction (redox) or non-redox. Typically, combination reactions are exothermic reactions. The reaction can be represented as:

X + Y → XY
