Hi,
The answer should be letter C, since a compound is made of atoms of two or more elements, in a defined ratio, bonded together.

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that contains two or more atoms chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

For example, carbon dioxide is a compound and its ratio by mass is 12:32 which is equal to 3:8.

Whereas when a substance with atoms of only a single element is known as a pure substance.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement, a substance made of two oxygen atoms for each carbon atom describes a compound.

Answer:

In 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles (Figure  2.2.2 ). More important, by measuring the extent of the deflection of the cathode rays in magnetic or electric fields of various strengths, Thomson was able to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles. These particles were emitted by the negatively charged cathode and repelled by the negative terminal of an electric field. Because like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract, Thomson concluded that the particles had a net negative charge; these particles are now called electrons. Most relevant to the field of chemistry, Thomson found that the mass-to-charge ratio of cathode rays is independent of the nature of the metal electrodes or the gas, which suggested that electrons were fundamental components of all atoms.
