When certain molecular crystals are added to water, they are able to dissolve and break down into their original molecules, if they are affected by the interatomic hydrogen bonds that water induces.
A simple answer: dissolving.

∙ 9y agoHydrolysis is the chemical process by which a molecule is separated in two by the introduction of a water molecule. When this happens, one part of the molecule will bond with the water's hydrogen molecule and the other part of the molecule will bond with the remaining hydroxyl molecule.

Contrast the forming and breaking of chemical bonds in terms of energy changes?
The formation of chemical bonds releases energy. It is an exothermic process. The breaking of chemical bonds takes energy. It is an endothermic process.
Is energy always involved in making or breaking chemical bonds?
no, some reactions are spontenous.
Is it true When water dissolves sugar the positive ends of the water moecules are attracted to the negative ends of the sugar molecules?
Generally, when a molecule is dissolved in water, the process called hydration occurs. This process consists in the creation around the polar or ionic parts of the dissolved molecule of a shell of water molecules that are bonded to solute via polar bonds (called hydrogen bonds). This is a fundamental process in solution formation. As a matter of fact, it deeply influences the spontaneous solution formation by participating to the solution free energy and renders the water a very good solvent, differently from other liquids that are not able to form such bonds.
What are bonds with no charge called?
Covalent.
What is the name of the reaction that breaks polymers apart?
Macromolecules are linked with covalent bonds between its monomers. For example proteins are bonded with peptide bonds. Hydrolysis of these bonds will break them to small peptides and ultimately forms amino acids. For any other macromolecules the same hydrolysis is a key to separate them. This reaction is catalysed by enzymes.
Breaking apart two bonds with water is called?
AIDS
Is bond breaking an endothermic or exothermic process?
Breaking bonds produces energy making it an exothermic process.
Contrast the forming and breaking of chemical bonds in terms of energy changes?
The formation of chemical bonds releases energy. It is an exothermic process. The breaking of chemical bonds takes energy. It is an endothermic process.
When you add heat to a combination of substances breaking bonds and forming a new substance the process is called a?
Chemical reaction

The process of breaking down food to release its energy is called?
The process of breaking down food so we can absorb it is called digestion. Releasing the energy by breaking it down further in our cells is respiration.
What process releases huge amounts of energy by breaking subatomic bonds?
Decomposition reaction involves breaking of bonds. Huge amount of energy is released.
What is happening if a polymer is degrading?
The bonds of the polymers are coming apart so that it is breaking into its constituent components.
When atoms combine with or break apart from other atoms a what occurs?
When new bonds are formed between atoms, energy is released and this process is known as exothermic process. Similarly when old bonds break, energy from the surrounding is absorbed and is known as endothermic process.
What is the name of the reaction involved in breaking a glycosidic bond?
Glycosidic bonds are typically cleaved in hydrolysis reactions by enzymes called hydrolases.
Which would provide the body with the most energy?
This is it
What initiates chemical reactions by breaking bonds in the reactants?
That process is called a chemical reaction.
