Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct option that describes figure A from the given choice is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When two or more than two different elements are joined together to form a compound.
Answer to Problem 6STP
Correct Answer: The correct option is (d).
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The given diagram in the A part show only two types of balls which means only two different types of atoms are attached and form a compound. In the compound, the ratio is fixed for a particular compound. The bonding in compounds may be covalent or ionic.
Hence, this is a correct option.
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option (a), element is composed of only one type of atoms. The element is the purest form of substance, and they are not further breakdown into other elements. So, it does not explain the diagram. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
Option (c), solution is a mixture of two main components, solute, and solvent. The solution is the homogenous mixture of two or more components. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
Option (d), mixture is consisting of different types of elements with different compositions. They can be separated into their components. Mixture property does not match from the given diagram. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
