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.

What cannot be broken down into simpler components?
Time and Mass. All particles can be broken down into smaller particles endlessly.
Is corn a compound mixture or element?
I think its an element because elements are made up of atom or atoms that cannot be broken down into components like corn syrup
A material that can be broken down by chemical method is a?
A compound.A compound is composed of elements. If you were to break down a compound you would get new compounds or elements.

How is a compound and mixture broken down?
mixture is separted by physic changes and compound is broken down by chemical changes
What are the elements of compounds?
The elements of a compound are the simplest components that it can be broken down into by chemical means. The atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons and have the same behaviors.
