This kind of reaction is called "decomposition".

decomposition
When a more complex compound breaks down into simpler substances, it undergoes a decomposition reaction. This type of reaction involves the breakdown of a single compound into two or more simpler substances through the use of heat, electricity, or other catalysts. An example is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
decomposition
A complex substance breaking down into two or more simpler substances is typically a decomposition reaction. In these reactions, one reactant breaks apart into multiple products through various processes, such as heat, light, or the presence of a catalyst.
The word for these reactions is synthesis.
This is a "compound".

A decomposition reaction breaks a substance into simpler substances by breaking chemical bonds within the compound. This can occur through heat, electricity, or other sources of energy.
A synthesis reaction is where two (or more) chemicals or elements combine to create one new product. A decomposition reaction is the opposite meaning it is when one compound is broken down into the 2 (or more) compounds/elements it is made up of. Both of these refer to compounds, not mixtures. Mixtures cannot have synthesis or decomposition reactions. The difference between a compound and a mixture is that a compound is chemically bonded together at the atomic level while a mixture is just mixed together.
A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance that consists of two or more different chemical elements which can be separated into simpler substances by a chemical reaction. A molecule is the smallest unit of a compound.
The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
