What do decomposition and double displacement reaction have in common?
They both come up with two different compounds/elements then the original compound/element.
What are the common elements of decomposition?
It depends on the substance undergoing 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 term for the reaction that breaks substances into their basic element?
decomposition
Can an element undergo a decomposition reaction?
yes.example:H2O ---> H2 + Othis 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 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 is the word equation for the thermal decomposition for calcium?
Calcium is an element and does not decompose. It can oxidize though.
A given compound can be decomposed into two substances What are these substances?
in a decomposition reaction a chemical breakes down into the elements in the compound e.g: compound = element + 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.
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.
What do decomposition reactions involving metallic carbonates have in common?
In a decomposition reaction a compound is broken into smaller chemical species. The decomposition of a metallic carbonate always results in carbon dioxide (gas) and a metallic oxide.
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
