Compounds

If you have a dime, you could break it down into smaller units, like two nickels. You could then take your nickels and break them down further into ten pennies. In chemistry, a compound, which is a substance made up of two or more different elements, is a lot like your dime. Compounds can be broken down into smaller units. Of course, compounds don't break down into nickels and pennies; instead, they break down into either smaller compounds or their basic elements.

That is an example or experiment of a compound being broken down. A closed soda bottle contains the compound carbonic acid, or H2CO3. When you pop it open, the carbonic acid decomposes into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which provides the bubbles. Water and carbon dioxide are simpler compounds than carbonic acid, but they are still compounds. Therefore, they can break down themselves to leave us with the basic elements hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. Compounds break down through chemical changes. Sometimes this chemical change requires energy in the form of heat or electricity. In this lesson, we will look at how compounds are broken down using these energy sources.
