Synthesis
A reaction that forms a new compound
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to bake a cake, but you only have individual ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs. The process of combining these separate ingredients to create a delicious cake is similar to a chemical reaction that forms a new compound. Just as each ingredient on its own is not a cake, individual reactants are not the final compound; they need to be mixed and undergo a transformation to become something new, just like a flour, sugar, and eggs transform into a cake when baked together.
