More model informationThese reactions uphold the law of conservation of matter as there is an equal number of particles/atoms in the reactants and products, meaning that mass is conserved.
In a synthesis reaction, two or more reactants combine to form a single, more complex compound. It can be generalised as: A→B=AB
In a decomposition reaction a compound is separated into simpler compounds or elements. It can be generalised as: BA→A+B
It is therefore the opposite of a synthesis reaction.
