Hydrolysis, easy to remember because "hydro" is the latin word for water.
When polymers are broken into smaller molecules by water we usually call it hydrolysis ('water splitting'). It can be called depolymerisation, but that isn't so accurate.
This is called a hydrolysis reaction.
they bond together
In a chemical reaction sometimes old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
the change in the nuclei of the atoms.
no
The chemical reaction is the H2O bond with O2.
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
they bond together
Chemical bonds are broken and new ones are formed
In a chemical reaction sometimes old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
HYDROLYSIS
Some or all of the existing chemical bonds in the reactants are broken and new chemical bonds are formed in the products.
The atoms involved in a chemical reaction have their bonds broken, new bonds formed, or existing bonds rearranged depending on the reaction type.
This is a chemical decomposition reaction.
In a chemical reaction sometimes old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
Base elements cannot be broken using a chemical reaction. Mollecules, which are made up of more than one element, can be broken using chemical reactions.
the change in the nuclei of the atoms.
no
