The reaction 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂ is a:
A. Decomposition reaction
B. Displacement reaction
C. Double displacement reaction
D. Combination reaction

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen. A single reactant breaks down into two or more products, so it is a decomposition reaction. This particular reaction can be catalyzed by MnO₂ or light. It is also a disproportionation redox reaction where O in H₂O₂ (-1) goes to -2 in H₂O and 0 in O₂.
