yes.
example:
H2O ---> H2 + O
this can be done by electrolysis if you want to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen.
ANS2:An element, that is to say, an uncombined atom, cannot chemically decompose further but, elements that were combined initially can participate in a decomposition reaction. The example given in the first answer describes the decomposition of a compound, water.

What is the breakdown of carbon dioxide into element carbon and molecular oxygen is an example of what reaction?
This is a decomposition reaction.
What is combination and decomposition?
when different indivisual element combine to form a compound, this reaction is called combination A reaction in which a Compound is decomposed into its constituent elements is called decomposition
The products in a decomposition reaction?
The products in a decomposition reaction depend on what the reactants are in that decomposition reaction. The products will be different depending on the reactants.
Which of following is an example of a decomposition reaction?
A decomposition reaction involves an element breaking up into other molecules. The decomposition of peroxide is an elementary example of this chemical process by the formula:2H202 --> O2 + 2H20
A chemist hypothesizes that mercury oxide will undergo a decomposition reaction if it reaches a certain temperature When the chemist designs his experiment what should be the only independen?
temperature
What is the term for the reaction that breaks substances into their basic element?
decomposition
Is the product of a decomposition reaction a compound or element?
Generally is compound; but it is not impossible that this product be an element.
What is the breakdown of carbon dioxide into element carbon and molecular oxygen is an example of what reaction?
This is a decomposition reaction.
What is combination and decomposition?
when different indivisual element combine to form a compound, this reaction is called combination A reaction in which a Compound is decomposed into its constituent elements is called decomposition
what do we call the chemical reaction that uses an electrical current to decompose a compound?
electrolytic decomposition reaction.
How can a decomposition reaction help you determine whether a pure substance is an element or a compound?
If a substance undergoes a decomposition reaction, it is a compound. Pure elements cannot decompose because there is nothing for them to decompose into.
Does francium decompose?
Because it is an element francium cannot decompose. However, it does undergo nuclear decay, which is chemical terms, is different from decomposition.
What is the opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
Is the process of digestion is a decomposition reaction?
yes,it is a decomposition reaction.
The products in a decomposition reaction?
The products in a decomposition reaction depend on what the reactants are in that decomposition reaction. The products will be different depending on the reactants.

A decomposition reaction involves an element breaking up into other molecules. The decomposition of peroxide is an elementary example of this chemical process by the formula:2H202 --> O2 + 2H20
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
