Solution
The chemical reaction in which a single compound or substance is decomposed into two or more simple products is called decomposition reaction.
Examples:
When lead oxide is heated, it decomposes into lead and oxygen.
\(\rm PbO\) → \(\rm 2Pb\) + \(\rm O_{2}\)
When water is electrolysed, it gives hydrogen and oxygen.(electrolytic decomposition)
\(\rm 2H_{2}O\) → \(\rm 2H_{2}\)+ \(\rm O_{2}\)
