The process in which larger molecule with higher molecular weight breaks down into smaller molecules with lower molecular weight
Correct answer: B. pyrolysis
- A. polymerization
- B. pyrolysis
- C. isomerism
- D. no such process occurs
Explanation
Pyrolysis is a process in which larger molecules, typically with higher molecular weight, are broken down into smaller molecules in the presence of heat. It is a thermal decomposition reaction. This term refers to the thermal decomposition of organic matter at high temperatures.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
