Question

We cannot break a molecule of a compound into its constituent elements.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Molecule: A molecule is formed when two or more atoms of same element or different elements are combined together in whole numbers.

• For example, $\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)\mathrm{gas},\mathrm{Water}\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)\mathrm{e}.\mathrm{t}.\mathrm{c}.$
• It can be split into simpler and different substances by chemical means.

Thus, the given statement is False. I.e., We cannot break a molecule of a compound into its constituent elements.
