Examples

1. decomposition reactions include the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.
2. Photo decomposition Reaction is a chemical reaction in which a compound gets broken down into simple substances under its exposure to light. This reaction is also known as Photolysis or Photodissociation reaction.
