Answer 2

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).
