What is the chemical reaction when a complex compound breaks into two or more simpler compounds?
decomposition
When more complex compound breaks down into simpler substances what reaction it occurs?
decomposition
What do you call a chemical reaction in witch a complex substance is broken down into simpler substances?
decomposition
What type of reaction does a complex substance break down into two or more simpler substances?
A decomposition reaction breaks down complex substances to simpler substances. For example, AB forms A+B.
What type of reaction occurs when two or more simple substances combine of form a more complex?
The word for these reactions is synthesis.
What is a a substance. that can be broken down into two or more simpler substance?
This is a "compound".
What is a substance that can be broken down into two or more simpler sunstances?
This is a "compound".
What kind of reaction breaks a substance into simpler substances?
A "decomposition" or "disproportionation" reaction.
What is the difference between synthesis and breakdown reactions?
A synthesis reaction is where two (or more) chemicals or elements combine to create one new product. A decomposition reaction is the opposite meaning it is when one compound is broken down into the 2 (or more) compounds/elements it is made up of. Both of these refer to compounds, not mixtures. Mixtures cannot have synthesis or decomposition reactions. The difference between a compound and a mixture is that a compound is chemically bonded together at the atomic level while a mixture is just mixed together.
What is a compound and are compounds related to molecules?
A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance that consists of two or more different chemical elements which can be separated into simpler substances by a chemical reaction. A molecule is the smallest unit of a compound.
What type of reaction produces two or more products from a single reactant?
The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
What is a substance that can't be broken down into a simpler substance by chemical means?
element, compound, or an atom
