Question
The picture below shows the particles in one section of an unknown pure substance.
The sample shows two close-up views of particles. The left close-up shows seven compound molecules that are uniformly spaced. The right close-up view shows a question mark.
Which option represents the particles in another section of this pure substance?
(1 point)
Responses
Four petri dishes are presented, each exhibiting a different distribution of small, gray circles.
The topmost dish shows a scattered, random distribution of circles.
The middle dish depicts a clustered, aggregated distribution of circles.
The third dish shows a moderately scattered pattern of circles.
The bottom dish displays a cluster of circles with some scattered circles outside of the cluster.

Based on the description of the particles in the left close-up view, it sounds like the substance is composed of uniformly spaced compound molecules. In a pure substance, the arrangement of particles should maintain a regular and consistent pattern.
Considering the options provided for another section of the pure substance, the best choice would likely be:
**The bottom dish displays a cluster of circles with some scattered circles outside of the cluster.**
This option suggests a structure that still has some regularity but does allow for some variation in spacing, which could be indicative of another section of the same pure substance while still maintaining a similar overall composition. The other options either suggest random distributions or more clustered arrangements that do not align as closely with the uniform structure indicated in the first description.
