products. Decomposition reaction is opposite to combination reaction. Thermal
decomposition reactions use the energy in form of heat for decomposition of
reactants. Electrolytic decomposition reactions involve the use of electric energy
for the decomposition of reactant molecule. Photolysis or photochemical
decomposition involves the use of light energy for the purpose of decomposition.

47. Redox reactions are hose reactions in which oxidation and reduction occur
simultaneously. A redox reaction is made up of two half reactions. In the first half
reaction oxidation takes place and in second half reaction, reduction occurs.
Oxidation is a process in which a substance loses electrons and in reduction, a
substance gains electron. The substance which gains electron is reduced and acts as
an oxidizing agent. On the other hand, a substance which loses electron is oxidized
and acts as an oxidizing agent. On the other hand, a substance which loses
electrons is oxidized and acts as a reducing agent.
