I think they do 'break apart', but not in the way being used above. The electron bonds get broken when the atoms get crushed under the immense gravity, therefore releasing the bonds. Since it is a singularity. then the structures of objects no longer exist. The debate in physics continues though over if the information of these structures remains, ie Hawking radiation and all the associated issues.
