Question

1 multiple answer 20 points how can the image below be classified? compound element mixture matter cant be classfied.

Explanation:

• A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together. In the image, there are no such chemical - bonded combinations of different types of atoms to form a compound.
• An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom. Here, there are two different types of particles (the green - diatomic particles and the yellow - monoatomic particles), so it is not an element.
• A mixture is a combination of two or more substances (elements or compounds) that are not chemically combined. The image shows a combination of two different types of particles (the green - diatomic species and the yellow - monoatomic species) that are not chemically bonded, which fits the definition of a mixture.
• Matter can be classified, and in this case, it is classified as a mixture.

Answer:
