Question

What is decomposition reaction​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction in which a single product breakdowns to form two or more simple compounds....

It is of following types :-

THERMAL DECOMPOSITION:-

In this type decomposition reaction, heat is required for the breakdown of the substances.

Example :-

Heat

2Pb(NO3)2 (s) --------> 2Pbo (s) + 4NO2 (g) + O2 (g)

In this reaction, learn nitrate breaks down to lead and nitrate....

ELECTROLYTIC DECOMPOSITION REACTION :-

In this type of decomposition reaction, electricity is required to break down the product.

Electricity

Eg:- H20 --------> H2 + 0

PHOTOLYTIC DECOMPOSITION REACTION:-

In this type of decomposition reaction, sunlight is required for the breakdown of product....

Sunlight

Eg :- 2AgBr --------> 2AgCl(s) + Br2

Answer 2

Answer:

Reaction, in which more than one product is obtained from a single reactants, is called a decomposition reaction.
