Chemicals can be split up through chemical reactions, such as decomposition reactions where a compound breaks down into simpler substances. Another method is through physical processes like distillation or filtration, which separate components based on differences in properties like boiling point or solubility.
Chemical elements cannot be split up into simpler substances using heat alone. However, some compounds can be broken down into elements through chemical reactions that involve heat, such as thermal decomposition.
Silver chloride turns into silver and chlorine when it is split up by light. The light breaks the chemical bonds in the silver chloride molecule, resulting in the formation of silver and chlorine atoms.
Energy can be used to break chemical bonds, allowing chemicals to split up or react with other chemicals. This process is commonly seen in chemical reactions that require an input of energy to progress.
Hydrogen ions (H+) split into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) during chemical reactions.
Yes, electrical energy can be used to drive chemical reactions that store energy in chemical bonds, thereby converting it to chemical energy. This is how processes like electrolysis work, where electrical energy is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
