What is chemical decomposition?
What is chemical decomposition?
- The process of accelerating a chemical reaction using activation energy
- The process of simplifying a single chemical entity into two or more fragments (correct)
- The process of stabilizing a chemical compound under extreme environmental conditions
- The process of combining multiple chemical entities into a single molecule
What type of reaction is a decomposition reaction?
What type of reaction is a decomposition reaction?
- A physical reaction involving changes in state of matter
- A reaction that only occurs under extreme environmental conditions
- A chemical reaction in which two or more products are formed from a single reactant (correct)
- A chemical reaction in which a single product is formed from multiple reactants
