<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>

A substance that can be broken down into simpler subtend only by a chemical change is aa. homogenous mixtureb. heterogeneous mix
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

d. compound

Explanation:

<u>Mixture </u>: It is defined as the substance that is made by the combination of two or more different components which are physically combined.

<u>Homogeneous mixture</u> are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are uniformly mixed. <u>Heterogeneous mixture</u> are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are not uniformly mixed.

<u> Compound :</u> It is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass and are chemically bonded.

<u> Element :</u> It is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

<u>As discussed above,  The different elements in the compounds are chemically bonded and hence, it is the substance which can be broken down into the simpler units when it subtend only by the chemical change.</u>

What halogen can react with sodium chloride solution to produce chlorine?
ozzi

Answer:

As electro-negativity decreases from Florine to downwards in the group and only Florine is above Chlorine, so Florine should react with sodium chloride solution to produce chlorine.
