How is a compound broken into its components?
There are various ways to break down compounds into their constituent elements. Any compound will break down at a sufficiently high temperature. Electrolysis is useful for many industrial processes, such as the refinement of aluminum. In terms of organic chemistry, there are enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of specific molecules, usually into simpler molecules, rather than into elements. The specific technique you use would depend upon the specific compound that you wish to break down.

Can beads that are made of glass break down into salts and other elements?
First, salts are compounds, not elements so with only a few exceptions a complex substance will not break down into salts. Glass can be broken down into its component elements, as can any mixture or compound, but in this case it would be difficult. The main component of glass is usually silicon dioxide, a relatively inert compound, which can be broken down into silicon and oxygen. It will not break down into salts. Other substances such as sodium bicarbonate, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide may be incorporated depending on the type of glass. The metals present may yield salts under the right conditions.
