Serena mixed two samples together: a gray solid that smells like flowers and a gray solid that smells like bleach. She analyzed
the results and found two ending substances. One of the ending substances was a white solid. This ending substance is made up of the repeating group of atoms shown above. Which of the diagrams to the left shows the repeating groups of atoms that make up the samples Serena mixed together?
The diagrams that shows the repeating groups of atoms that make up the samples which were mixed together is option D.
A chemical reaction is said to have occurred when there a rearrangement of atoms in a substance. This rearrangement of atoms in the substance leads to the formation of new substances.
In this case, we must note that the combination of reactants to be chosen must posses the atoms shown as part of the one of the end substance. The only option that satisfies this requirement is option D.
The substance most likely is an inert element because it is only composed of one kind of atom and cant be separated further. Also, it cannot be converted to another type of substance. An inert material doesn't react to any substance. Examples are Neon and Krypton.
