If you attempt to decompose an element, you would be trying to break it down into simpler substances or its constituent particles, such as atoms or subatomic particles. However, elements are defined by their unique atomic structure, and you cannot chemically decompose them into simpler forms. Instead, you can only change their state or combine them with other elements to form compounds. To break an element down to its fundamental particles, you would need to use nuclear reactions, which are complex and typically require high-energy environments.
Given enough time yes, they will decompose. It would take thousands of years for this to happen.
You would have a different element. This is not something that is easy to do in practice. It's nuclear physics, not something that happens in the test tube.
"Burning" in the conventional sense is combining with Oxygen. The element would liberate heat and leave as residue, oxides of itself.
Decomposing an element is not possible because elements are defined as pure substances that consist of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. However, elements can undergo nuclear reactions that can change them into different elements, a process known as transmutation. In such reactions, the nucleus of an atom is altered, resulting in a change in the element itself. Chemical reactions can rearrange the atoms of elements, but they do not change the elements into different ones.
If you try to decompose an element, you would break it down into its simplest form, which could be atoms or ions. However, elemental decomposition typically requires high energy input, making it difficult to break down elements into their constituent parts under normal conditions.

It would decompose into the earth.
Given enough time yes, they will decompose. It would take thousands of years for this to happen.
If they went about it the right way, they would succeed. If they tried the wrong way, they would fail. If they tried the very wrong way, there is a good chance they would either blow up their lab or pass out from fumes.
The forest would decompose at a slower rate
They would decompose more rapidly that if there were not
It would form a compound.
You would get Lugia.
You would fall
If matter could not decompose, there would be a buildup of waste and dead organisms, leading to overcrowding and resource depletion. Nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning would be disrupted, ultimately causing a collapse in biodiversity and ecosystem health.
