What is a decomposition reaction?
What is meant by decomposition reaction?
उत्तर १
A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down to simpler products. It is the opposite of a combination reaction.
उत्तर २
The reaction in which there is only one reactant giving rise to two or more products is called a decomposition reaction.
