The correct statement is:
Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites of each other. Synthesis reactions are in the form A + B → AB, while decomposition reactions are in the form AB → A + B.
In synthesis reactions, two or more reactants combine to form a single product, while in decomposition reactions, a single compound breaks down into two or more products.
I apologize for any confusion. Let's clarify the definitions:
Synthesis Reaction: This is a reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. The general form is \( A + B \rightarrow AB \).
Decomposition Reaction: This is a reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. The general form is \( AB \rightarrow A + B \).
Given this, the correct statement comparing synthesis and decomposition reactions is:
Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites of each other. Synthesis reactions are in the form A + B → AB, while decomposition reactions are in the form AB → A + B.
Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify!
