The original chemical bond is broken.
Explanation: Separating a compound into its elements requires breaking the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together. Mass is conserved in the process (no decrease), the energy change may be endothermic or exothermic depending on the reaction (not necessarily a massive heat release), and the products need not form a homogeneous mixture.
