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:

A compound is a substance formed when two or more different kinds of atoms are chemically bonded together. In the given diagram, each particle consists of two different - colored (different kinds of) atoms bonded together. All the particles in the diagram are of the same type (same combination of different atoms). An element would have only one kind of atom. A mixture would have different types of particles (either different elements or a combination of elements and compounds or different compounds). Since all the particles are of the same compound (same combination of two different atoms), it is a compound.

Answer:

Compound
