If a substance undergoes a decomposition reaction, it is a compound. Pure elements cannot decompose because there is nothing for them to decompose into.
This is a decomposition reaction.
Decomposition reaction
Generally is compound; but it is not impossible that this product be an element.
It depends on the nature of the decomposition. if you are talking about biodegradeability in a substance, then no, its decomposition is mainly due to bacteria that will break down the various particles in the substance ("eat" them). There are, however certain chemical reactions which take place within the bacteria as the substance is being broken down, (much like those that happen in the human body) and the possibility of there being other products in the vicinity which may react to the substance (and degrade it) is always present. It could be said that decomposition is therefore a chemical reaction (or rather a series thereof), but with biodegradeability in mind it is not generally thought of as such.
The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
Its a decomposition reaction
This kind of reaction is called "decomposition".
It's called Decomposition. For example, 2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2
Combination reaction, sometimes called synthesis, in composition elements get together to form a compound. eg 2Mg+O2--> 2MgO Decomposition, in decomposition, the compound comes apart.eg CaCO3-->CaO+CO2
electrolytic decomposition reaction.
A formation reaction :) Decomposition implies the breakdown of a compound, formation implies the production of a compound.
A method is the thermal decomposition of a compound.
A substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances during a decomposition reaction.
Mercuric oxide is a compound not a reaction.
Breaking a substance down into two or more simpler substances is called as decomposition reaction.
Yes, decomposition is a type of chemical reaction. This chemical reaction breaks down a compound into its individual elements.
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
