What else can I help you with?
Does acid break down elements?
No. It can however break down compounds.
What are the states of matter in elements and compounds?
solidliquidgasplasma (compounds can rarely exist in this state, as they break down into their ionized elements)
How is a compound different from the elements that break it up?
compounds are those elements put together
What is it called when you break something down using heat?
That process is called "thermal decomposition," where a substance is broken down into simpler compounds or elements through the application of heat.
What happens to compounds when they break down?
They become 2 or more elements
What is the method used to break up compounds into the elements that formed it?
The method used to break up compounds into the elements that formed it is called chemical decomposition. This process can be achieved through various methods such as electrolysis, thermal decomposition, or acid-base reactions, depending on the compound being studied.
Do chemical elements in a cereal break down when mixed with water?
No. Elements cannot be broken down by chemical means, compounds can. Some substances in the cereal may dissolve in water, but they do not break down. Once you eat and start digesting the cereal, then compounds start to break down.
Can compound undergo chemical change to become elements how?
Yes. Compounds can undergo chemical changes to become elements. An example would be the following: Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) ===> ZnCl2(aq) + Cu(s). THe CuCl2 is a compound and it is changed into the element Cu(s) and also into zinc chloride.
A reaction involving the break up of a substance into simpler substances is called?
A reaction involving the break up of a substance into simpler substances is called a decomposition reaction. This type of reaction breaks down compounds into their individual elements or simpler compounds through various processes like heat, light, or electricity.
How do you break compounds into elements?
Compounds can be broken into elements through chemical reactions such as decomposition or electrolysis. Decomposition reactions involve heating a compound to break it down into its constituent elements. Electrolysis uses an electric current to drive a chemical reaction that separates the elements in a compound.
What substance can only be broken down by chemical change?
A substance that can only be broken down by chemical change is a compound. Compounds are made up of different elements chemically bonded together, and breaking these bonds requires a chemical reaction. Physical changes, such as melting or dissolving, cannot break compounds down into their individual elements.
What is the chemical compounds that break down the insects are most likely?
These compounds are called insecticides and have very different formulas.
