    substances formed when compounds break down over time

    Degradation products are the substances that result when a compound breaks down over time due to environmental factors like light, heat, or moisture. For example, when a medication degrades, it can form new chemicals that may be less effective or potentially harmful. Understanding these products is crucial for ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals, as well as for studying the stability of various biological materials.
