<span>The two methods that can be used do break down compounds into simpler substances or smaller units, are known as Hydrolysis and Photolysis. 

Hydrolysis uses water to split a molecule. Water is used to break the bonds of a molecule. There are three main types of hydrolysis:</span>1. acid hydrolysis2. base hydrolysis 3. salt hydrolysis

Photolysis uses energy from light to split molecules.  This energy is called photons. As in hydrolysis, photons are used to break the bonds of a molecule. Photolysis is a chemical reaction.

<span>Photolysis and hydrolysis. These are two methods that can be used to break down a compound into simpler substances and smaller units.

Water which is used to break the bonds of molecules and split molecules is used from hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is made of three types which include;
1. salt hydrolysis.
2. acid hydrolysis.
3. Base hydrolysis.
 Photolysis is well known to use energy from light to split the molecule and the same energy is referred to as photons which are used to break builds of molecules.</span>

An atom gets over all positive charge by ____ _______
Rasek [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Nucleus.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • In an atom the nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons.
  • Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). While atoms do contain charged particles, they have the same number of positive protons as negative electrons( for example a sodium atom has 11 electrons which are of negative charge and 11 protons which are of positive charge).
  • These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.

Result: Nucleus is the overall positive charge of an atom.

How are sound waves and EM waves alike? How are they different?
Hatshy [7]
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.

How can forgery be used in crime
Tems11 [23]

Some bad people will tend to forge dollar bills and make fake bills, giving them to cashiers and asking for it to be split into a different amount of bills so they are given real cash and wont be caught or they will buy things, return them and be given back real money and get away with it. This is obviously a crime because it's fake.
