A substance made of only one type of atom

A combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties

A substance in which atoms are chemically bonded together

A substance that cannot be separated by physical means, only by chemical processess

All atoms have the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Atoms determine the properties of matter.

Atoms are the building blocks of matter.

Different arrangements of atoms make up different types of matter.

It contains only hydrogen atoms.

It contains only oxygen atoms in a gas state.

It contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms chemically bonded together in a certain ratio.

It is made up of molecules that are not bonded together chemically but are stuck together physically.

An element contains only one type of atom, while a compound contains atoms of two or more elements chemically bonded together.

An element contains atoms of different types, while a compound contains only one type of atom.

Both elements and compounds contain only one type of atom. The difference is in how they are arranged.

A compound contains atoms that are not bonded together.

A mixture is made of combinations of two or more substances that are physically blended together.

A mixture is made of a single element.

A mixture is made of compounds that are chemically bonded.

A mixture contains only one substance.

Steel

Soil

Cereal in milk

Oil and vinegar

Atoms are the smallest units of matter, elements are pure substances made of one type of atom, and compounds are substances made of two or more different atoms chemically combined.

Atoms are always found in compounds, elements are mixtures, and compounds are pure substances.

Atoms and elements are the same, while compounds are mixtures of elements.

Atoms are pure substances, elements are mixtures, and compounds are always gases.
