How can compounds be broken down into their elements?
Compounds are most notably broken down into their component elements by Electrolysis. But some can be broken by heat and catalyst. More complex compounds can be broken up into simpler compounds for their elements by a decomposition reaction. Example: NaCl---Na and Cl salt sodium and chlorine or C6H12O6---6H2O 6C sugar 6 water molecules and 6 carbon atoms
Elements and compounds cannot be broken down into simpler substances by an ordinary what?
Elements and compounds (pure substances) cannot be broken down by physical changes.
Can a element be broken down into compounds?
You misunderstand!!!! a compound is broken down into its elemental atoms.
Can compounds be broken down into smaller substances?
Yes, only elements cannot be broken down to smaller substances.
Can compounds be broken down into elements by physical means?
Compounds cannot be broken down physically but can be broken down chemically.

Can compounds be broken down only by chemical means?
yes, they can only be broken down by chemical means
How do compounds differ from elements?
Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements.Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.
Can compounds be broken down into smaller substances?
Yes, only elements cannot be broken down to smaller substances.
Can compounds may be broken down into elements in a chemical change?
yes they can
A given compound can be decomposed into two substances What are these substances?
in a decomposition reaction a chemical breakes down into the elements in the compound e.g: compound = element + element
How do compaunds deffer from elements?
Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.
How are elements and compound different?
Elements are made up of only one thing. While a compound is made of two of more elements. Here is an example. H2O. Water is hydrogen and oxygen.
Can compounds be broken down into elements by physical means?
Compounds cannot be broken down physically but can be broken down chemically.
Why aren't compounds and elements the same?
Compounds are made of two or more substances joined together, and elements are a pure substance that can't be broken down into simpler substances.
