Definition
The reactions in which a single reactant breaks down to form simpler products are called Decomposition Reactions.
Types of Decomposition Reaction
They are endothermic in nature
Because decomposition reactions require energy for breaking down the reactants.

What are decomposition reactions? ? The reactions in which a single reactant breaks down to form simpler products are called Decomposition Reactions. They require energy to break down the reactants, that is why they are endothermic.
Why are decomposition reactions endothermic?;;Because decomposition reactions require energy for breaking down the reactants.
What are some examples of decomposition reactions? ??
- Ferrous Sulphate to Ferric Oxide and Sulphur Dioxide and Sulphur Trioxide
- Calcium Carbonate (Limestone) to Calcium Oxide and Carbon Dioxide
- Lead Nitrate to Lead Oxide and Nitrogen Dioxide + Oxygen
- Silver Chloride to Silver and Chlorine
- Silver Bromide to Silver and Bromine
