Question

_____ are two or more elements that have been chemically combined. mixtures compounds atoms colloids

Answer 1

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two or more atoms of different elements are chemically combined together in similar composition then the product formed is known as a compound.

For example, NaCl is an ionic compound.

Mixture is the substance in which two or more different components are mixed together in different composition. Components of a mixture never combine chemically.

For example, mud in water is a mixture.

Atom is defined as a single molecule of an element. For example, Na (sodium) atom.

A colloid is defined as a mixture in which insoluble particles are microscopically dispersed and suspended throughout another substance.

For example, milk is a colloid.

Therefore, we can conclude that compounds are two or more elements that have been chemically combined.
