Hello Kirti!!

What is decomposition reaction?

Decomposition reaction is the type of reaction in which a compound salt decomposes to give smaller salts or elements or bases.

For example:
AB ----> A + B

For example,
Calcium carbonate, when decomposes, gives calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

CaCO₃ ------> CaO + CO₂
