Answer:

B if you meant
H_(2)O->
H_(2) +O_(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Synthesis: reaction where two or more reactants combine to form one product. A+B->AB

B. Decomposition: reaction where a single compound reacts to form more than one product. AB-> A+B

C. Combustion: any reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas. (needs
O_(2))

D. Single replacement: a type of reaction where one element replaces a similar element within a compound. Reaction is always an element and a compound.

E. Double replacement: a type of reaction where the ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds. AB+CD->AD+CD
