👉 In chemistry, a disleafed compound is a chemical compound that has been broken down into its elemental forms. This process is known as decomposing the compound and can be done by various methods such as reaction with acids or bases, decomposition of oxides, etc. For example, in the decomposition of methane (CH4) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), a disleafed compound would be formed. This process is often used in chemistry to study chemical
