has one product and two or more Reactants.
An S reaction has oxygen as a reactant and a Dreaction has oxygen as a
product
An S reaction has oxygen as a product and a D reaction has oxygen as a
reactant

Answer 1

Answer: An S reaction has one product and two or more reactants and a D reaction has one reactant and two or more products.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a synthesis reaction, two or more simple molecules or substances interact to form a more sophisticated product. (General equation: A + B → AB)

When one reactant decomposes into two or more products, this is known to as a decomposition reaction. (General equation: AB → A + B)
