A salt will release Cations (pron. CAT-ions) and Anions (pron. AN-ions) when it dissolves in water. The Cations have a positive charge and are often metals. The Anions have a negative charge and are usually non-metals. An example: NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
An element is the only substance that cannot be broken down.
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.
No.
Yes, it can, by starch.
Elements can't be broken down. They are theoretically in their simplest forms; each is represented by an atom. To break down an element means breaking down an atom --> nuclear fission.
Yes, elements can be broken down.
No. Compounds and mixtures are made of elements and can be broken down, as in table salt which is Sodium Chloride and can be split into sodium and chlorine gas, which are elements that have different properties.
yes table salt can be broken but it depends
Substances that cannot be broken down by chemical means are known as elements. Elements are made up of one type of atom, and they cannot be broken down into simpler substances through chemical reactions. Examples of elements include gold, oxygen, and carbon.
An element is the only substance that cannot be broken down.
No, it can be broken down.
No.An elementcan't be broken down into a simpler substance, without changing its chemical nature.
Compounds are most notably broken down into their component elements by Electrolysis. But some can be broken by heat and catalyst. More complex compounds can be broken up into simpler compounds for their elements by a decomposition reaction. Example: NaCl---Na and Cl salt sodium and chlorine or C6H12O6---6H2O 6C sugar 6 water molecules and 6 carbon atoms

Substances that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances are called elements.
Atoms or elements. These can be broken down further into protons, neutrons, and electrons.
