Synthesis (Combination) Chemical Reactions Explained! | High School Chemistry

This video tutorial explains synthesis reactions, also known as combination reactions, where multiple reactants form a single product. It covers how to identify synthesis reactions and predict their products, focusing on reactions starting with two elements. The tutorial provides examples, such as sodium with chlorine and aluminum with oxygen, demonstrating how to determine charges, write chemical formulas, and balance equations.

What are the charges of sodium and chlorine, and how do they affect the formula of the product?

Describe the steps taken to predict the product when aluminum reacts with oxygen.
