What is a decomposition reaction caused by light called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Photolytic decomposition

A decomposition reaction in which a compound breaks down in the presence of light is called photolytic decomposition. For example, silver chloride decomposes in sunlight: \(2\mathrm{AgCl} \xrightarrow{\text{sunlight}} 2\mathrm{Ag} + \mathrm{Cl}_2\). In contrast, thermal decomposition requires heat, while electrolytic decomposition is caused by electric current.
