Answer

1. $2H_{2} + O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O$ : Synthesis Reaction 2. $MgCl_{2} \rightarrow Mg^{2+}+Cl_{2}$ : Decomposition Reaction 3. $Zn^{2+} + CuCl_{2} \rightarrow ZnCl_{2} + Cu^{2+}$ : Exchange Reaction 4. $Li_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow Li_{2}O+CO_{2}$ : Decomposition Reaction

Work Step by Step

In synthesis reaction molecules of two element combine to form a new molecular compound like in first reaction. In decomposition reaction one molecule decays into other molecules like in second and fourth reaction. In exchange reaction one atom of a compound is replaced by another atom like in third reaction.
