Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites.
Synthesis:
A + B -> C
Decomposition:
C -> A + B
They both involve three elements or compounds, one of which is a combination of the other two.
An example:
N2O5 -> NO2 + NO3 Is a decomposition reaction.

The three types of chemical reactions are: synthesis, decomposition, and replacement.
A synthesis reaction is where two (or more) chemicals or elements combine to create one new product. A decomposition reaction is the opposite meaning it is when one compound is broken down into the 2 (or more) compounds/elements it is made up of. Both of these refer to compounds, not mixtures. Mixtures cannot have synthesis or decomposition reactions. The difference between a compound and a mixture is that a compound is chemically bonded together at the atomic level while a mixture is just mixed together.
yes some chemical reactions are harmful to us. as digestion of food, photosynthesis, decomposition of organic waste are some examples of the useful chemical reactions.
Decomposition: Takes the composition of an organism when it dies and breaks it down to tiny particles of simple matter usually becoming a nutrient in the soil. Synthesis: Is combining two or more simple elements that work together to form something new.

Synthesis reactions are generally characterized by being exothermic. Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic.
The synthesis and decomposition reactions are coupled in cells through the process of metabolism. There are chemical reactions that are used in this entire process.
All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
The three types of chemical reactions are: synthesis, decomposition, and replacement.

I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.
All of them can be redox reactions.
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.

The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
the 3 key types of chemical reactions are synthesis, decomposition, and neutralization.
