Question

Explain the term thermal decomposition of suitable examples

Answer 1

Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemicaldecomposition caused by heat. Thedecomposition temperature of a substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes. The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoingdecomposition.
