How do you get the element calcium?
In 1808, Humphry Davy invented a system for melting compounds of elements that were difficult to separate by usual methods. He passed an electric current through the compound, causing the compounds to break into parts. The element that he used this method on was calcium. By melting calcium carbonate (CaCO3)-which is a common compound of calcium-and passing an electric current, he was able to create a pure form of calcium.
How do you break compounds into ions?
only compounds with the (aq) state symbol
What type of matter that cannot be separated by physical change?
Pure substances such as compounds and elements. "Physical means" that is to say: No heating! A lot of compounds decompose by simple heating, like making charcoal by heating wooden chunks.
What compounds break up into ions solution?
only compounds with the (aq) state symbol
Why are ionic compounds usually have high melting point while most simple covalent compounds have low melting point?
Ionic compounds are mad by ionic bonding The two parts of the compound ther for become one by means of moving electronioc and beoming stable there fore the bond and the compound is stronger that conalent compounds which just share the electrons needed for the two (or more ) elements to become a compound so they are weaker
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)
Can compounds be broken down into their component elements?
Yes they can, compounds can break down into their component elements under certain environmental temperatures.
How is a compound different from the elements that break it up?
compounds are those elements put together
What happens to compounds when they break down?
They become 2 or more elements
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.
What are the some methods to break water into elements?
A method of separation is electrolysis.
What is it called when changes occur when elements or compounds break bend or tear?
This phenomenon is called "tribochemistry".
How do you break compounds into elements?
You can't. An element is a pure substance. I think you mean compound...
Can carbonic acid be broken down into two elements?
No. Carbonic acid is a compound of 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It will, however, readily break down into water and carbon dioxide, which are compounds.
What is alkaline medium?
An alkaline medium is formed when alkaline elements in food break down. This happens when they combine with (H+) ions.
What are the charged particles that are formed when ionic bonds break?
The ionic elements are thus, as in the salt example here.NaClNa +=======A cation.Cl -======An anion
