Answer:

decomposition reaction

A synthesis reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. In a decomposition reaction, one reactant breaks down into two or more products. This is the reverse of a synthesis reaction. Replacement reactions occur when elements switch places in compounds.
