It is a element.

Pure substances includes either compunds, or elements. Elements are the simplest form of pure substance, they only consist of one kind of atoms. On the other hand, compounds contains two or more elements that are chemically combined together. Although you couldn't separate a compound by physical methods like filtration, but you can seperate them with chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis, using electricity.

Therefore, since compounds can be broken down eventually, so, the answer will be element.

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, $HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}$

The conjugate base is $F^{-}$ which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

$CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}$

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

In what 3 ways are isotopes similar

MAVERICK [17]

An isotope is one of two or more forms of the same chemical element. Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number, but a different number of neutrons giving each elemental isotope a different atomic weight.
