Question

1. identify the type of reaction shown here.

s + cl₂ → scl₂
show the type of reactions summary table.
combustion
decomposition
double replacement
no reaction
combination
single replacement

Explanation:

To identify the reaction type, we analyze the given reaction \( \text{S} + \text{Cl}_2
ightarrow \text{SCl}_2 \). A combination reaction (also called synthesis) occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Here, sulfur (S) and chlorine gas (\( \text{Cl}_2 \)) combine to form sulfur dichloride (\( \text{SCl}_2 \)), which fits the combination reaction definition. Combustion involves oxygen and fuel, decomposition is breaking down a compound, double replacement swaps ions in two compounds, and single replacement involves one element replacing another—none of these match.

Answer:

Combination
