That's a molecule of the substance. You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original 'compound'.
Here's an example:
-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.
-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.
When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride". That's SALT ! It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
Explanation:
a) Density is the amount of mass in a specific amount of volume
b) Some substances are less dense than water so will float and vice versa
c) The wooden plank has less density than water due to having larger volume and vice versa with the wooden block since volume and density are inversely proportional
II) (a) They are all metals
(b) water -> Compound
oxygen -> Element
Gold-> Element
Salt-> Compound
