Question

label elements, compounds, and mixtures - k

each circle represents an atom and each different color represents a different kind of atom. if two atoms are touching, then they are bonded together.
choose the best classification.

element

compound

mixture of elements

mixture of compounds

mixture of elements and compounds

Explanation:

• An element is made up of only one type of atom.
• A compound is made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded.
• A mixture of elements would have only single - type - atom species.
• A mixture of compounds would have only multi - type - atom species.
• In the given diagram, there are two types of species: one with two different types of atoms (compound - like, since different atoms are bonded) and one with only one type of atom (element - like). So it is a combination of elements and compounds.

Answer:

Mixture of elements and compounds
