Decomposition Reactions : Those reactions in which a compound splits into two or more simpler substances are known as decomposition Reactions.

Decomposition Reactions are also endothermic in nature. It is carried out by applying heat, light or electricity. Heat, light or electricity provide energy which break a compound into two or more simpler compounds.

When a decomposition reaction is carried out by heating, lighting or electricity, it is called thermal decomposition, photolytic decomposition or electrolytic decomposition.

Decomposition Reactions are just opposite of combination Reactions.
