$4 P + 5 O_{2} \to 2 P_{2} O_{5}$ $4P + 5O_2 -> 2P_2O_5$
This is a synthesis reaction.

$4 P + 5 O_{2} \to 2 P_{2} O_{5}$ $4P + 5O_2 -> 2P_2O_5$
This is a synthesis reaction.

When two elements combine to a product of one molecule, the reaction is synthesis, $A + B \to A B$ $A + B -> AB$

What kind of reaction is represented by 4P+5O2→2P2O54P + 5O_2 -> 2P_2O_5?
