Synthesis reaction is a reaction where two or
more substances combine to form a new compound. <span>It
is a reaction which releases energy in the form of heat and light. Therefore,
it is an exothermic reaction. </span>From its the definition the correct answer is the third option where carbon dioxide and water combine to form carbonic acid.
<span>I’ve answered this
question before so if these are the choices to the question presented:
An oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom, with a hydrogen atom
single-bonded to the same carbon atom. </span><span>
<span>A hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is
covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain. </span>
<span>A carbon atom single-bonded between two other carbon atoms,
with an oxygen atom double-bonded to the central carbon atom as well. </span>
<span>An oxygen atom single-bonded between two carbon atoms within
a carbon chain.
Then, the answer would be “a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom,
which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain.<span>”</span></span></span>
The ground state electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels. The electrons occupying the orbitals of varying energy levels naturally falls towards the lowest energy state or ground state.
