Can a compound be separated by physical means?

Physics

Julli [10]4 years ago

No,  it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

Answer:

Definitely Spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets

Explanation:

Any relative motion between magnets (be they permanent or electromagnetic) and a coil of wire will induce an electric current in the coil.

What will not induce an electric current is the relative motion between the two coils of wire (because there is no change in magnetic field), or the relative motion between two magnets (there are no coils of wire to induce the current into).

<em>Therefore, spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets does not induce an electric current.</em>
