Which statement correctly compares synthesis and decomposition reactions?(1 point)

Responses

Synthesis and decomposition reactions are both neutralization reactions. Synthesis reactions are in the form A + B → AB, while decomposition reactions are in the form AB → A + B.

The correct statement that compares 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."

This explains that synthesis reactions combine two or more reactants to form a single product, while decomposition reactions break down a compound into its constituent parts.
