1.	What is the type of reaction in which the reactant gives simpler product
Answer» Decomposition reaction is the type of reaction in which the reactant give simpler products.In Decomposition reaction a compound breaks down to give two or more simpler substances. In this reaction there is only one reactant. Decomposition reaction is the opposite of a combination reaction.E.g : 1.Mercury (II) oxide on heating decomposes to give Mercury and oxygen.2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)2.Copper (II) oxide on heating decomposes to give copper and oxygen.2CuO (s) → Cu(s) + O2(g)Decomposition reactions are of following types : •Thermal decomposition reactions•Electrolytic decomposition reactions•Photochemical decomposition reactions Decomposition reaction
