I can’t see the images you’re referring to. To tell which diagram shows a pure substance I need either the pictures uploaded or a description of each diagram (how many particle types, colors/shapes, whether particles are bonded to each other, whether there are different kinds mixed together).
Quick rule you can use to pick the pure substance:
- A pure substance contains only one kind of particle throughout. That can be:
- An element: all single identical atoms (one shape/color).
- A compound: all identical molecules (same bonded arrangement repeated).
- If the diagram shows two or more different kinds of particles (different shapes/colors or different bonded arrangements) present together, it’s a mixture, not a pure substance.
If you upload the diagrams or describe them (e.g. “A = blue single atoms; B = red–blue paired molecules mixed with blue single atoms; C = all red–blue paired molecules; D = red and blue single atoms separated”), I’ll tell you which one is the pure substance.
