  1. Can be broken down by chemical reactions into simpler substances

  2. Cannot be broken down by chemical reactions into simpler substances

  3. Maybe be broken down by chemical reactions into simpler substances

  4. Both b and c

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A pure substance which is made up of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken into two or more simpler substances by physical or chemical means is referred to as an element. An element is homogeneous in nature; it is a pure substance, made up of only one kind of atoms. For example, iron and silver are made of only iron and silver atoms.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Elements are pure substances which are made up of only one kind of atom. All atoms in an element are identical but atoms of different elements are different.

  1. Sugar

  2. Ozone

  3. Benzene

  4. Salt

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Compound is made up of two or more elements. Ozone is made up of 3 oxygen atoms which are identical. Hence, its an element and not a compound.

Which of the following is a compound?

evs look, learn and experience matter: states, classification and properties study of matter general introduction: importance and scope of chemistry

  1. Baking soda

  2. Octane

  3. Hydrogen peroxide

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is formed when two atoms of hydrogen form a bond with two atoms of oxygen that have bonded to each other. Octane is a hydrocarbon consisting of hydrogen and carbon. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can be produced from the reaction of carbon dioxide with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, which creates sodium carbonate; it is then combined with carbon dioxide molecules to produce sodium bicarbonate. All the compounds are made up of different elements and have properties different from their constituent element.
