The diagrams below show different types of substances. Which table correctly identifies each type of matter?

It seems like you might be referring to specific diagrams and a table, but I'm unable to see those visual elements. However, I can help you understand and identify different types of matter based on common categories in chemistry. Generally, matter can be classified into the following categories:

  1. Element: A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Elements are made up of only one type of atom (e.g., oxygen, gold).

  2. Compound: A substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded together (e.g., water \(H_2O\), carbon dioxide \(CO_2\)).

  3. Mixture: A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded. Mixtures can be either homogeneous (uniform composition, e.g., salt water) or heterogeneous (distinct components, e.g., salad).

If you describe the substances in the diagrams, I can help you classify them accordingly!
