Combination reaction can be represented as:
ABC ├а AB + C
AB + CD ├а AD + CD
AB + C ├а CB + A
AB + C ├а ABC
AB + C ├а ABC
A combination reaction, also known as a synthesis reaction, occurs when two or more substances (elements or compounds) unite to form a single, more complex product. The general form is represented by A+BтЖТAB.

Think of it like mixing two different colors of paint to create a brand new single color, or two people joining hands to form a single team.
Remember 'Synthesis = Combining' (S = C).
A+BтЖТAB тАФ General formula for combination
C+O2тАЛтЖТCO2тАЛ тАФ Example: Carbon combustion
In a chemical combination reaction, the atoms of the reactants are rearranged to form a new chemical bond, resulting in the creation of a single product. This process is typically exothermic, meaning it releases energy to the surroundings, as the formation of new bonds releases more energy than what is consumed to break the existing ones.
A single product is always formed from multiple reactants.
These reactions are frequently exothermic.
They are the opposite of decomposition reactions.
Used in industrial manufacturing to synthesize complex materials.
Energy release in exothermic reactions can be harnessed for work.
Can be difficult to control if reactions are highly exothermic (explosive potential).
Formation of slaked lime: CaO+H2тАЛOтЖТCa(OH)2тАЛ
Formation of water: 2H2тАЛ+O2тАЛтЖТ2H2тАЛO
Option A (ABCтЖТAB+C) represents a decomposition reaction.
Option B (AB+CDтЖТAD+CB) represents a double displacement reaction.
Option C (AB+CтЖТCB+A) represents a single displacement reaction.
D is correct тАФ Combination reaction is the process where two or more reactants merge into a single substance (AB+CтЖТABC).
Always look for the 'number of products' in the equation: 1 product means Combination, 1 reactant means Decomposition.
