<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;

 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>

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

protons

These particles do not vary in quality from one element to another; rather, what gives an element its distinctive identification is the quantity of its protons, called its atomic number. Protons and neutrons contribute nearly all of an atom's mass; the number of protons and neutrons is an element's mass number
