No, an atom of carbon cannot be separated into its parts by ordinary chemical or physical processes. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and breaking them down requires nuclear reactions, which are far beyond the capabilities of typical chemical reactions. Chemical processes only rearrange atoms and molecules, while physical processes do not change the atomic structure.

Why cant compounds be broken down by physical processes?

Compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements which are chemically bonded. They can only be separated by using chemicals or other means. however mixture can be separated by physical means.


Are elements separated by a physical process chemically bonded?

No. If two elements can be separated by a physical process then they are simply mixed.


Salt dissovling in water--physical or chemical?

The process of salt dissolving in water is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of either the salt or the water. The salt molecules are simply separated and dispersed within the water molecules.


Can nitrogen be broken through ordinary chemical means?

No, carbon cannot be separated into its parts by either chemical or physical process (unless you consider particle bombardment to be a physical process) which is why carbon is classified as an element.


Mixing a cake a chemical change?

Mixing a cake is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this process, the ingredients physically combine but do not undergo a chemical reaction to form new substances. The mixing can be reversed by separating the ingredients, unlike in a chemical change where new substances are formed.


What are some characteristics of mixtures?

A mixture contain two or more components not linked by chemical bonds; a mixture can be separated by a physical process.


What kind of change occurs when a compond is separated into its components?

Is mixing sand into garden oil a chemical or physical change?

Mixing sand into garden soil is a physical change. This is because the sand's composition remains the same, and it can be separated from the soil by physical means (such as sifting). No new substances are formed during this process.
