Question

What occurs during a decomposition reaction? The components of several molecules recombine to form new molecules. A compound partitions into its components. New compounds are formed by chemical bonding

Answer 1

During a decomposition reaction, a compund partitions into it's components. This is a type of a chemical reaction where a larger/more complex compund is broken down into simpler elements or compounds which were initially combined in a chemical reaction.This type of reaction often requires an energy source such as heat or light to break down the compound.
