Q24. Pure substances are classified as elements or compounds. An element is a substance
that contains only one type of atom. A compound is a substance composed of two or more
different types of elements, chemically combined in a fixed proportion. The constituents
cannot be separated by simple physical methods. However, these substances can be broken
down into separate elements by chemical methods. On the other hand, mixtures are different
from pure substances. They are called impure substances. They have different
characteristics than elements and compounds.
(I). The organic material, wood is
a) an element
b) a compound
c) a mixture
d) a solution
(ii). X + Y → P, X and Y cannot be broken down into simpler substances by simple chemical
reactions. Which of the following concerning the species X, Y and P is incorrect?
