Decomposition Reactions
Decomposition reactions are chemical reactions in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. This type of reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction, where simpler substances combine to form a more complex one. Decomposition reactions can be triggered by heat, light, electricity, or the presence of other substances. They are essential in various natural processes and industrial applications. Understanding decomposition reactions is crucial in fields like chemistry, environmental science, and materials science, as they play a significant role in the breakdown and transformation of matter in the world around us.
