Differences between combination reaction and decomposition reaction are:
Combination reaction |
Decomposition reaction |
i. When two or more reactants combine together to form a single product, the reaction is called combination reaction.
Reactant + reactant → 1 product |
i. The reaction in which a single reactant breaks down to give simpler products is called decomposition reaction.
Reactant→product + product |
ii. For example:
