When substances are combined to form more complex substances it is called?
Synthesis. A chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a new, more complex substance.
What occurs when two or more substances are combined to form a new substance?
The type of reaction where two or more substances combine to form a new compound is a synthesis reaction that is one of the types of chemical reactions.
Which of the following reactions involves two or more substances combining to form a single compound?
Chemical equations an reaction vocabulary

| decomposition reaction | a reaction in which a single compound produces two or more simpler substances |
In which type of chemical reaction do two or more reactants combine to form one product only?
A synthesis reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. This type of reaction is represented by the general equation: A + B → AB. An example of a synthesis reaction is the combination of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl).
When two or more substances are mixed together and a change occurs?
Tell students that sometimes when two (or more) substances are mixed together, a change occurs and another substance (or substances) is created. This is called a chemical reaction. Gas may form, heat may be produced, and color may change. These types of changes indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred.
What happens to the properties of substances when two or more substances are mixed?
When two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different properties may be formed. No matter what reaction or change in properties occurs, the total weight of the substances does not change.
What happens when two simple substances combine to create a complex substance?
Synthesis Reaction This reaction occurs when two or more simple substances combine to create a more complex substance. Decomposition Reaction In this type of reaction, a substance breaks down, or decomposes, into two or more simpler substances.
When does decomposition occur in a chemical reaction?
This reaction occurs when two or more simple substances combine to create a more complex substance. Decomposition Reaction In this type of reaction, a substance breaks down, or decomposes, into two or more simpler substances. Single-Replacement Reaction This reaction is when atoms of one element replace atoms of another element in a compound.
When do atoms change place in a chemical reaction?
In this type of reaction, a substance breaks down, or decomposes, into two or more simpler substances. This reaction is when atoms of one element replace atoms of another element in a compound. This reaction involves atoms in two different compounds trading place with each other.
How are enzymes used to accelerate chemical reactions?
A substance that increases the reaction rate but is not changed by the reaction itself. Enzymes Most animals contain these types of catalysts that accelerate important chemical reactions such as the digestion of food.
