Q3:
Which of the following is true for mixtures?
- APure elements cannot form mixtures.
- BMixtures consist of particles of different substances mixed—but not reacted—together.
- CA mixture is always formed when two substances react together.
- DMixtures cannot be separated into their components.
- EMixtures can only be made by mixing pure substances together.
Q4:
Which one of the following is true for compounds?
- ACompounds are formed when two atoms of the same element join together.
