Lesson Worksheet: Compounds and Mixtures Chemistry • 7th Grade

In this worksheet, we will practice defining and identifying compounds and mixtures and using these terms in the context of materials and physical processes.

Q1:

Which of the following is not true for a pure substance?

  • ASolutions cannot be pure substances.
  • BA pure substance consists of only one type of molecule or unit.
  • CAll pure substances contain only one type of atom.
  • DExamples of pure substances include distilled water, nitrogen gas, and sodium chloride.
  • EPure substances are homogeneous.

Q2:

Which of the following is true for a homogeneous mixture?

  • AA homogeneous mixture is one where nothing is reacting.
  • BThe components of a homogeneous mixture are unevenly distributed.
  • CThe components of a homogeneous mixture are all evenly distributed.
  • DA homogeneous mixture can never be unmixed.
  • EAll the components of a homogeneous mixture are in the same phase.

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.
  • BCompounds are made of only one types of atom or ion.
  • CCompounds are composed of two or more types of atom or ion bonded together in a fixed ratio.
  • DCompounds cannot be separated into their component elements.
  • EA compound is formed when different molecules share the same container.

Q5:

Which of the following is true for a heterogeneous mixture?

  • AA heterogeneous mixture is one in which two or more components are reacting together.
  • BThe components of a heterogeneous mixture are evenly distributed.
  • CThe components of a heterogeneous mixture are unevenly distributed.
  • DA heterogeneous mixture is one that can be unmixed.
  • EThe components of a heterogeneous mixture exist in a range of phases.
