1. Decomposition: When compounds get broken down into smaller and lighter substances.

a) Elements are pure substances which are composed of only one type of atom. Compound
are substances which are formed by two or more different types of elements that are united
chemically in fixed proportions.
b) A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A
compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which
are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds. All
compounds are molecules.
c) A molecule forms when two or more atoms bind with each other either via covalent
chemical bonds or ionic bonds. On the other hand, a lattice forms when a large number of
atoms, molecules or ions bond with each other to forms a regular network structure.

Cellular respiration : C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
