Question
A student creates three models to show how atoms are arranged in common substances. Model 1 represents iron, a solid metal that appears grey. Model 2 shows iron oxide, which forms when iron reacts with oxygen. Model 3 includes carbon along with iron oxide, appearing as a powder with black and brown particles.
model 1 is Fe Model 2 is o,Fe Model3 is Fe,c,o
Which set of classifications and appearance descriptions would match the models?
A.

A.
Reason: Model 1 (Fe) is an element — a pure substance with uniform metallic grey color. Model 2 (Fe + O combined as iron oxide) is a compound — a pure substance with a uniform rust color. Model 3 (iron oxide mixed with carbon) is a heterogeneous mixture showing distinct black (carbon) and brown (iron oxide) particles.
