It's called chemical weathering.
The process by which rocks break down as a result of chemical reactions is called chemical weathering. This occurs due to the effects of water, air, and other substances on the minerals that make up the rock, causing them to decompose or dissolve over time.
It's called "chemical weathering" - there may be qualifiers that describe specific forms within that such as hydrolysis.

Weathering refers to the process where chemical reactions break down the bonds holding rocks together, leading to their subsequent decay and disintegration.
Hydrolysis and other chemical reactions are used during the process of digestion to break large molecules down into their smaller components. Hydrolytic reactions are exergonic reactions.
Chemical bonds always break in chemical reactions, causing changes in energy.
These are decomposition reactions.
Yes, abundant moisture and warm temperatures can result in high rates of chemical weathering because water and heat can facilitate chemical reactions that break down minerals in rocks. This process is known as hydrolysis and can lead to the breakdown of minerals into clay minerals and other dissolved ions.
Chemical reactions that form new bonds or break existing bonds between atoms can result in a product with new chemical properties. These reactions can include processes like oxidation, reduction, polymerization, hydrolysis, or substitution, which can lead to changes in the structure and arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
Chemical bonds always break in chemical reactions, causing changes in energy.
The chemical reactions that break down food molecules in cells to release energy are called cellular respiration. This process generates ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency for cellular activities.
No. Atoms never, ever break in chemical reactions. Molecules break if you want to see atoms break, look up nuclear reactions
