Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]H_2[/tex] :  Pure substance, Element

[tex]O_2[/tex] : Pure substance , Element

[tex]H_2O[/tex]:  Pure substance, Compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: [tex]H-2[/tex] and [tex]O_2[/tex]

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Heterogeneous Mixture : Mixture that has its different components mixed unevenly within the substance . Example: Air

Homogeneous Mixture : Mixture that has its different components mixed evenly within the substance. Example: sugar dissolved in water

H₂ is an element and a pure substance.

  • elements are pure substances because they contain the same atoms in a fixed ratio to one another
  • they cannot be broken down further
  • H₂ is an element because it contains two atoms of Hydrogen which have a fixed composition thereby making it a pure substance.

O₂ is an element and a pure substance as well.

  • it comprises of two atoms of oxygen
  • it cannot be broken down further
  • atoms have a fixed ratio which makes it pure

H₂O is a compound but it is also pure.

  • a compound has multiple elements which H₂O does as it comprises of both hydrogen and oxygen.
  • it is also pure because the hydrogen and oxygen are in a fixed ratio to each other.

In conclusion, hydrogen, oxygen and water are all pure substances but water is a compound and the rest are elements.
