The causes are: photochemical decomposition, electrical discharges, irradiation with ionizing radiations from the cosmic space.

What happens when salt is dissolved?

it becomes split into oppositly charged ion which become surrouded by water molecules......


What causes water particles to split into hydrogen and oxygen?

Water particles split into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis, which involves passing an electric current through water. This current breaks the chemical bonds holding the water molecules together, resulting in the release of hydrogen gas at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode.


Do polar and ionic compounds dissolve in water?

Yes, both polar and ionic compounds tend to dissolve well in water due to water's polarity. Water molecules are able to surround and interact with the charged particles in these compounds, allowing them to mix uniformly in solution.


Does Light energy causes water molecules to slit up?

No, light energy does not cause water molecules to split up. Water molecules can be split into hydrogen and oxygen using a process called electrolysis, which involves passing an electric current through water.


Why are neutrons frequently used as projectiles in transmutation reactions?

Neutrons are the essential carriers of the chain reaction. They can penetrate a nucleus like that of U-235, being uncharged, and cause it to split apart. This releases more neutrons enabling a chain reaction.


Do water particles have a charge?

No, only 1.0*10-7 mol/L (of the 55.6 moles H2O in that litre) is 'split' into two ions: H+ and OH- the remaining majority are uncharged, neutral particles (molecules) H2O


Can electron split?

Electrons are not known to be made up of smaller particles.


Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what?

Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.


What causes the atom's nucleus to split?

- for spontaneous fission the cause is an inconvenient ratio between neutrons and protons- bombardment of the nucleus with particles, especially neutrons


Have humans split particles?

No but we are all most there


What layer is hit by the sun's ultraviolet rays and cause the air particles to become electrically charged?

The ionosphere. To clarify, only the low-frequency radio waves incorrectly called "high-frequency" or "HF" of about 50MHz and below are reflected. "Very High Frequency" VHF signals are not reflected, but go straight off into space. For example, in the "AM" commercial broadcast spectrum, the transmission is reflected back to the Earth and is receivable for great distances, a phenomenon that used to be called "skip". AM signals are in the band of 550KHZ to 1.6 MHz. "FM" stations in the band from 88MHz to 108MHz are only received by "Line of sight" transmissions.


How can light be observed as a wave?

diffraction splits light, it wouldnt split particles but it would split a wave
