Here's a general representation:
AB → A + B
Where:
* AB represents the single reactant
* A and B represent the two or more products
Examples of decomposition reactions:
* Electrolysis of water: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂
* Heating calcium carbonate: CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
* Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂
