A scale
A chord that is broken into essential notes is known as an arpeggio.
Assuming you mean broken chords, it means to arpeggiate the notes. You play the notes of the chords right after each other, usually from the lowest note in the chord upwards. It's called broken because you can distinguish the succession of different notes, instead of just hearing multiple played at once as in a typical chord.
Most commonly they are referred to as either a scale or a chord. However, other terms include cluster, row or series.
