Is water an element compound or mixture?
A) Element
B) Compound
C) Mixture
D) None of the above
Correct Answer:
B) Compound
Explanation:
Water (H2O) is classified as a compound. It is made up of two different elements, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements in a specific chemical combination. Water does not fit the definition of an element or a mixture.
