splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen is decomposition reaction

Answer 1

Dear Student,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Yes},\mathrm{splitting}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{water}\mathrm{into}\mathrm{hydrogen}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{water}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{decomposition}\mathrm{reaction}.\mathrm{Since}\mathrm{here}\mathrm{one}\mathrm{reactant}\mathrm{i}.\mathrm{e}.\mathrm{water} \\ \mathrm{decomposes}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{form}\mathrm{two}\mathrm{new}\mathrm{products},\mathrm{hydrogen}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{oxygen}. \\ 2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\to 2{\mathrm{H}}_2+{\mathrm{O}}_2 \end{gathered}$$
