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 (elements) chemically bond together. In the given diagram, each molecule consists of different - colored atoms (representing different elements) bonded together. All the molecules in the diagram are identical, meaning it is a pure substance made of one type of compound.

• An element would consist of only one kind of atom.
• A mixture (of elements, compounds, or both) would have different types of particles.

Answer:

Compound
