$A + B \to A B$ $A+BrarrAB$

Explanation:

It is common to represent two reacting elements or compounds as A and B. These could be anything formula from a single atom to a large molecule.

In a synthesis reaction, two (or more) substances join together to form a single substance, which we write as AB. By writing the letters together (with no + sign between them) we mean they have bonded together to make one substance.

Here are a couple of examples:

$2 H_{2} + O_{2} \to 2 H_{2} O$ $2H_2+O_2rarr2H_2O$

$C a O + C O_{2} \to C a C O_{3}$ $CaO+CO_2rarrCaCO_3$
