The following are not decomposition reactions :

B. CaO + H2O ⇒ Ca(OH)2

C. 2Mg + O2 ⇒ 2MgO

Further explanation

The decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction shows the decomposition of a compound into its constituent elements or compounds

General formula :

AB⇒A+B

A. KCIO3 → KCI + O2

decomposition reaction

B. CaO + H2O ⇒ Ca(OH)2

synthesis/combination reaction

C. 2Mg + O2 ⇒ 2MgO

synthesis/combination reaction

D. 2NaOH ⇒ Na2O + H2O

decomposition reaction
