Consider the following list of substances: carbon dioxide, CO2 hydrogen gas, H2 magnesium, Mg sodium chloride, NaCl methane, CH4 potassium, K Which of the substances are compounds? (1 point) Responses only CO2 , H2 , NaCl , and CH4 only cap c cap o sub 2 , cap h sub 2 , cap n A cap c l , and cap c cap h sub 4 only CO2 and CH4 only cap c cap o sub 2 and cap c cap h sub 4 only CO2 , Mg , NaCl , CH4 , and K only cap c cap o sub 2 , cap m g , cap n A cap c l , cap c cap h sub 4 , and cap k only CO2 , NaCl , and CH4

1 answer

The correct substances that are compounds from the list provided are:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Sodium chloride (NaCl)
  • Methane (CH4)

Hydrogen gas (H2) and magnesium (Mg) are elements, while potassium (K) is also an element.

Thus, the substances that are compounds are CO2, NaCl, and CH4. The correct response would be:

CO2, NaCl, and CH4.
