<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is False.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a substance break down into two or more substances. The general chemical equation for the decomposition reaction follows:

AB\rightarrow A+B

The products of decomposition reaction can be pure elements and compounds.

For Example:

  • Decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

  • Decomposition of water into elemental hydrogen and oxygen gases.

2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)

Thus, the correct answer is False.
