Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The type of matter from the given options that has a definite composition throughout its life and is made of more than one type of element is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Any substance that has mass and occupies space by having a fixed volume is matter. A matter is composed of atoms.

Answer to Problem 3STP
Correct answer: Option (d) Compound.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
A compound is made up of more than one type of element and has a definite composition for example water, that is made up of 2 H atoms and 1 O atom.
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option (a) heterogeneous mixture. It is composed of non-uniform matter and has two or more phases. Heterogeneous mixture can be separated out by physical methods.
Option (b) homogenous mixture. It has the same proportions of its component throughout any given sample but the components are not bonded together in this mixture.
Option (c) element. It is a substance that cannot be divided into simpler substances through chemicals. An element is composed of one type of atom.
