Question

why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reaction write equation for this reaction

Answer 1

decomposition reaction are called the opposite of combination reaction because in combination reaction 20r more reactants combines to form a single product for example hydrogen and oxgen combines to form water however in diffusion one reactant break down to form many more product such as lead nutrate when given heat breakes down into leadoxide plus nitrogen dioxide plus oxygen thanku for asking question hope this answer will help you a lot

Answer 2

Answer: In a combination reaction two or more substances are combined to form new substance while in the decomposition reaction one substance decomposes into two or more substances. Hence, the decomposition reactions are called opposite of combination reactions.
