Step 1: Understand the definition of a pure compound. A pure compound consists of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio, forming molecules or a lattice structure.
Step 2: Examine each figure carefully to identify whether it shows only one type of molecule or formula unit composed of different atoms bonded together, rather than a mixture of different molecules or individual atoms.
Step 3: Look for figures where the atoms are connected in a consistent pattern representing a single chemical species, not just a collection of different atoms or multiple types of molecules.
Step 4: Exclude figures that show mixtures of different molecules or separate atoms, as these represent mixtures or elements, not pure compounds.
Step 5: Select all figures that depict a uniform arrangement of chemically bonded atoms in a fixed ratio, as these represent pure compounds.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Pure Compound

A pure compound consists of two or more elements chemically bonded in a fixed ratio, forming a substance with uniform properties. Unlike mixtures, pure compounds cannot be separated by physical means and have distinct chemical formulas.

Mixture vs. Pure Substance

Mixtures contain two or more substances physically combined without fixed ratios, allowing components to be separated by physical methods. Pure substances, including elements and compounds, have consistent composition and properties throughout.

Molecular Representation in Figures

Figures representing chemical substances use symbols or shapes to depict atoms and bonds. Identifying a pure compound involves recognizing consistent groupings of atoms bonded together, as opposed to separate or unbonded particles indicating mixtures or elements.
