Where A and B represent any chemical substance and C the resulting compound.
Some synthetic reactions are given by combining a basic oxide with water, to form a hydroxide, or by combining the oxide of a non-metal with water to produce an oxy-acid.
Examples:
Other synthetic reactions are given by combining a non-metal with hydrogen, to obtain a hydrazide.
Example:
Oxidation of a metal is also a synthesis or combination reaction.
