Solution

The reaction represented by the equation AB → A + B is an example of a Decomposition reaction.

Here's why:

  1. In a decomposition reaction, a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. This is exactly what's happening in the equation AB → A + B. The compound AB is breaking down into two simpler substances, A and B.

  2. This is different from a synthesis reaction, where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance. If the reaction was A + B → AB, that would be a synthesis reaction.

  3. It's also different from a combustion reaction, which typically involves a substance reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light. The equation AB → A + B doesn't fit this description.

So, the correct answer is Decomposition reaction.
