Question

Select all of the particle diagrams that represent a pure substance.

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

Answer 1

To determine which particle diagrams represent a pure substance, we need to understand that a pure substance consists of only one type of particle, whether they are atoms or molecules.

1. If a diagram shows only one type of particle throughout (e.g., all circles of the same color representing the same type of atom or molecule), it represents a pure substance.
2. If a diagram shows different types of particles mixed together (e.g., different colored circles representing different atoms or molecules), it represents a mixture, not a pure substance.

Without seeing the specific diagrams (A, B, C, D, E), I cannot directly identify the correct options. Please evaluate each option based on the criteria above to identify which diagrams represent pure substances. If you can describe the diagrams, I'd be happy to help you analyze them!
