Answer:
A is Mg^2+
B is K^+
C is Se^2-
D is Cl^-
Ca^2+ lies between Mg^2+ and K^+
S^2- lies between K^+ and Se^2-
Explanation:
I have attached an image of the four spheres.
Remember that, cations are smaller in size than the corresponding atom atom because the formation of a cation often involves the removal of an entire shell. Anions are larger in size than the corresponding atom because an electron is added thereby expanding the electron cloud and size of the anion.
From left to right let us designate the spheres as ABCD.
A is Mg^2+
B is K^+
C is Se^2-
D is Cl^-
Ca^2+ lies between Mg^2+ and K^+
S^2- lies between K^+ and Se^2-

Answer:
The classification and illustrations are attached in the drawing.
Explanation:
It is possible to identify the pure substance observing the figure, since it is the only one that has 2 joined atoms (purple and blue) which forms a single compound.
On the other hand, the homogeneous mixture is identified by noting that its atoms are more united with respect to the heterogeneous mixture, highlighting that in homogenous mixtures the atoms, elements or substances are not visible to the naked eye and are in a single phase, instead in the heterogeneous mixture if they can be differentiated.
