👉 The term "combure" is a French word that translates to "combination". It refers to the process of combining two or more substances in order to create something new. In chemistry, it can be used for creating compounds from simpler ones. For example, when you combine sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O), you get salt (NaClO4), which is a compound formed by breaking down the larger component of NaCl into smaller components (oxygen and chloride).
