1) It satisfies the condition for the First Normal Form (1NF),

2) It do not includes any partial dependencies where a column is dependent only a part of a primary key.

For example suppose we have a table EmpProjDetail, which contains the employee details and its project details like projected, project name and durations in terms of days on which he/she is allocated to the project.

Table Name:-EmpProjDetail

Primary Key :- EmpId + projectid

In this table, the primary key is composition of two columns EmpId and ProjectId. Now this table is in 1NF but it is not in the 2NF since the column EmpName can be depended on the column EmpId and the column ProjectName can be depended on the column ProjectId which violates the second condition for the 2NF.

We can break this table into three different tables to convert it into the 2NF. These tables are given below:-

Table name:- EmpDetails

Primary Key: - EmpId

Table name:- ProjDetails

Primary Key: - ProjectId

Table name:- EmpProjdetails

Primary Key: - empId + ProjectId

Now all the three tables are in 1NF and all the columns of these tables are fully depended on their respective primary keys.
