The only way to break down a compound is through a chemical reaction.
No, a compound can also be broken down through a chemical change. This typically involves a chemical reaction that alters the chemical structure of the compound to create different substances.
Chemical change is needed to break down a compound. It involves breaking the chemical bonds that hold the molecules of the compound together, resulting in the formation of new substances. This process can be brought about by various means such as heat, light, or the presence of other chemicals.
A material that can be broken down by chemical methods is considered as a "chemical decomposable material." These materials can be broken down into simpler compounds or elements through the application of specific chemicals or chemical reactions. Examples include organic compounds like plastics or polymers that can be broken down through processes like hydrolysis or oxidation.
No, only zombies can break down doors.
There are various ways to break down compounds into their constituent elements. Any compound will break down at a sufficiently high temperature. Electrolysis is useful for many industrial processes, such as the refinement of aluminum. In terms of organic chemistry, there are enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of specific molecules, usually into simpler molecules, rather than into elements. The specific technique you use would depend upon the specific compound that you wish to break down.
No. Only morphine and hydromorphone (Dilaudid) will break down into the same compound. Demerol reduces to norperidine after it is metabolized.
Compounds cannot be broken down into their constituent elements by physical methods because the bonds holding the elements together in a compound are chemical bonds, which require chemical reactions to break. Physical methods only involve changes in state or appearance of matter, not in its chemical composition. Breaking down a compound into its elements requires breaking these chemical bonds, which can only be achieved through chemical reactions.
Minerals don't break down when cooked because they are at their most integral form. Only at extremely high temperatures will minerals break down.
An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances through chemical reactions, whereas compounds can be broken down into their constituent elements.
Styrofoam plates do not decompose, This makes them unsafe for the environment. Paper or plastic plates should be used since they can be recycled.
Molecules of substances cannot be broken down unless through chemical means. The bonds between atoms in molecules are too strong to break apart through other means.
First, salts are compounds, not elements so with only a few exceptions a complex substance will not break down into salts. Glass can be broken down into its component elements, as can any mixture or compound, but in this case it would be difficult. The main component of glass is usually silicon dioxide, a relatively inert compound, which can be broken down into silicon and oxygen. It will not break down into salts. Other substances such as sodium bicarbonate, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide may be incorporated depending on the type of glass. The metals present may yield salts under the right conditions.
