Identify each of the pictured substances as one of the following: element, compound, mixture of elements, mixture of compounds, mixture of elements & compounds.

Answer 1

I’m sorry, but I can't see images or pictures. However, I can help you understand how to identify substances based on their descriptions.

• Element: A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Examples include oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), and gold (Au).

• Compound: A substance made up of two or more different elements that are chemically combined in fixed proportions. An example would be water (H2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2).

• Mixture of elements: A physical blend of two or more distinct elements, where each retains its own properties. For example, a mixture of iron (Fe) and sulfur (S).

• Mixture of compounds: A physical combination of two or more compounds. For instance, a mixture of salt (NaCl) and sugar (C12H22O11).

• Mixture of elements and compounds: A combination of a variety of elements and compounds. An example would be air (which contains nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and other substances) or a salad that contains both varying vegetables (elements) and dressing (a compound).

If you provide descriptions of the substances, I can help classify them!
