Explanation:
Compounds can be broken apart in chemical reactions called decomposition reactions
For example, water can be broken down into the diatomic elements hydrogen gas and oxygen gas in a chemical reaction called electrolysis.
2H2O(l)→2H2(g)+O2(g)
Sodium chloride can also be broken down into elemental sodium and chlorine gas by electrolysis.
2NaCl(s)→2Na(s)+Cl2(g)
Some compounds undergo thermal decomposition when they are heated. For example, copper(II) carbonate decomposes when heated into copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide gas.
CuCO3(s)+heat→CuO(s)+CO2(g).
