yes it can
Mixtures can be broken down by physical means.
Iron is a element, not a compound. Elements can only be broken down to electrons, protons, and neutrons. Elements, like Iron, can brake down to subatomic particles when exposed to extreme pressure, like in a particle accelerator, or when exposed to extreme heat, like in a fusion reactor. So yes, Iron can be broken down, but only with very large amounts of Energy.
Yes, table salt can be broken down by physical means such as crushing or grinding it into smaller pieces. However, the chemical composition of salt remains the same even when broken down physically.
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means is an element. This is because Elements can't be broken down chemically into other substances because there is nothing to break them down into.
mixture is separted by physic changes and compound is broken down by chemical changes
You can break down a mixture by physical means
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means is an element. This is because Elements can't be broken down chemically into other substances because there is nothing to break them down into.
All substances can be broken into any other substances (or elements) by chemical or physical methods.
No, compounds cannot be broken down into elements by physical means because compounds are composed of atoms that are chemically bonded together. Physical means can only change the physical state of matter, such as melting or evaporating a compound, but it does not break the chemical bonds between the atoms.
Compounds can be broken down by both chemical and physical means. Chemical means involve breaking the bonds between atoms, resulting in a new substance. Physical means do not involve changing the chemical makeup of the compound, but rather breaking it into smaller pieces.
No, a pail of garbage is not an element. In chemistry, an element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. A pail of garbage is a physical mixture of various compounds and elements.
This sounds as if you are looking for the word compound.
