What occurs during a decomposition reaction?

Answer & explanation:

The decomposition reaction occurs when a compound, by spontaneous (if unstable) or non-spontaneous (if stable) action, when chemically defragmented, generates two new products.

For example:

2AB (s)* → 2A (s) + 2B (g)*

*s is for solid and g for gas

This reaction shows a simple compound AB decomposing into two substances A and B.

What often occurs in decomposition reactions is the formation of a gas (g) and its release after the reaction, due to the fact that the compounds are formed by electron(e⁻) affinity, and gases are extremely electronegative.
