Its a decomposition reaction
The reaction would be termed a chemical reaction.
Decomposition reactions involve a compound breaking down into two or more smaller compounds. This is usually caused by the introduction of some form of energy such as light which breaks bonds between atoms. However, combustion reactions can also involve compounds splitting into simpler ones. A combustion reaction involves a compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and occasionally oxygen atoms reacting with oxygen gas, O2, to form water and carbon dioxide. However, the answer to your question is probably decomposition reactions.
Dissecting a banana is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. It involves physically separating the banana into smaller pieces, but the chemical composition of the banana doesn't change. A reversible change would be when you freeze the banana slices and then thaw them, as this can be reversed.
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.
Compounds can be decomposed by chemical reactions.

Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction. The easiest way to tell if something is a chemical reaction is if heat or light are given of, a new substance is formed, or a colour change happens. Chemical changes are irreversible.Yes, whenever a candle burns, it is a combustion reaction between the carbon compounds of the wick and wax of the candle and of oxygen in the air. These compounds burn to create carbon dioxide and water, and also a few smaller carbon compounds, which is evident as the smoke rising occasionally from the flame. The flame you see and the heat you feel rising off of the burning wick is the evidence of an exothermic chemical reaction.Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction.

Decrease the activation energy to speed up a chemical reaction.
An exergonic reaction is a catabolic reaction where large molecules are split into smaller molecules in processes such as hydrolysis.

This situation is normal. The number of chemical elements is smaller compared to the number of chemical compounds.
The type of reaction responsible for the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones is referred to as the catabolic reaction or catabolism.
