Decomposition
The chemical breakdown of a substance into simpler substances
Real World Example
Imagine trying to clean out your overcrowded closet by sorting and organizing your clothes into different piles. Much like how you break down your clothing collection into simpler, more manageable groups, the chemical breakdown of a substance involves decomposing a complex material into simpler substances. Just as sorting clothes helps you manage and utilize them better, decomposition in chemistry helps us understand and use the basic components of a substance more effectively.
