Compounds, particles made up of more than one element, are held together by electrostatic attractions--called bonds--between the negatively-charged electrons of one atom and the positively-charged proton of another. The bonds in a compound are generally formed when two atoms get close enough together for this attraction to form a bond between them, connecting them. Different atoms have different attractions to other atoms depending on the number of electrons that can be bonded to the other atom.
In order to break apart a compound, therefore, you must break the bond between the atoms in that compound. This can be done when one atom in the compound comes across an outside atom that it is more attracted to. That atom will then bond with the new atom and the compound will be broken.
Bonds can also be broken when energy (usually in the form of heat) is applied to the compound. Different bonds have different strengths and therefore different amounts of energy that must be added in order to break the bond.
Elements cannot be broken down into compounds because elements are the simplest form of matter and are made up of only one type of atom. Compounds, on the other hand, are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
When new compounds are formed, chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are created to rearrange the atoms into different molecular structures. This process can release or absorb energy, depending on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. The resulting compound may have different physical and chemical properties compared to the original substances.
When compounds formed from ionic bonds decompose, the products are typically individual cations and anions. This is because the ionic bond is broken and the ions separate from each other due to the release of energy.
Organic compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are broken down into simpler substances through processes like digestion and metabolism. Inorganic compounds such as water and minerals can also be broken down into simpler components through physical or chemical processes.
Ionic Compounds are formed by complete transfer of electrons while Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons. Ionic compounds have higher melting points while covalent compounds have lower.
Chemical bonds are formed or broken apart during a chemical reaction. Bonds between atoms are either created or destroyed, resulting in the formation of new compounds or the breakdown of existing ones.
atoms
By chemical methods, such as electrolysis.
Compounds can be formed or broken down. ~ Dre.R ~
A chemical reaction occurs when the bonds of the reacting compounds are broken and new combinations are formed. This process involves the rearrangement of atoms to form new molecules with different chemical properties.

Elements cannot be broken down into compounds because elements are the simplest form of matter and are made up of only one type of atom. Compounds, on the other hand, are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
Compounds are formed by the reaction of two or more elements.
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
When new compounds are formed, chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are created to rearrange the atoms into different molecular structures. This process can release or absorb energy, depending on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. The resulting compound may have different physical and chemical properties compared to the original substances.
Today are known approx. 65.106 chemical compounds.
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
