Expert Solution

Step 1

1. The given option (a) reaction is,

A + X --------> AX

This is an example of combination reaction. A combination reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance. Here A, X substances combine to form a single new substance, AX. Thus, option (a) is incorrect.

2. The given option (b) reaction is,

AX ---------> A + X

This is an example of decomposition reaction. A decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single compound breaks into two or more substances. Here, AX compound breaks into two substances A, X. Thus, option (b) is incorrect.
