Reaction in which a single reactant breaks down to give simpler products.
Thermal decomposition-

(Or any other)
Electrolytic decomposition-

(or)
In a decomposition reaction, a single reactant breaks down into two or more simpler products.
When a decomposition reaction is carried out by heating, it is called thermal decomposition reaction.
