Question

Differntiate between addition and decomposition reacton

Answer 1

$\tt{Addition~reaction}$

Addition reaction is a reaction in which one molecule combines with another molecule to form a larger molecule with no other products. Carbon compounds use addition reaction to convert Unsaturated hydrocarbon into saturated hydrocarbon.

$\tt{Decomposition~reaction}$

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compounds

Answer 2

Answer:

Reactions in which many reactants combine to give one product are called combination reactions whereas, in decomposition one reactant breaks down in many products.
