Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct Option - (1) Isomerization

Isomerization is primarily not a chemical decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

1. Isomerization - It is a process in which a chemical molecule or ion is transformed into its isomer having a different chemical structure.

$CH_{3} CH_{2} CH_{2} CH_{3} (n-butane) - CH_{3} CH(CH_{3} )CH_{3} (i-butane)$

2. Hydrolysis - It is a double decomposition reaction where any chemical reacting with water leads to the decomposition of both the chemical and the water.

$CH_{3} COOCH_{3} + H_{2} O - CH_{3} COOH + CH_{3} OH$

3. Oxidation - It is a redox reaction where oxygen is either added or hydrogen is removed from any chemical compound. Decomposition reactions are redox reactions.

$Fe_{2} O_{3} +Al - Fe + Al_{2} O_{3}$

4. Volatilization - It is a process of separating mixtures by providing heat as well through decomposition of the compounds.

Thus, Isomerization is not a chemical decomposition reaction.
