1. A substance is provided in a jar. The table includes the student’s observations. Use them to correctly identify the substance as a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture.

• A. The substance is a homogeneous mixture because the particles are evenly distributed.

• A. The substance is a heterogeneous mixture because the particles are evenly distributed

• A. The substance is a homogeneous mixture because the particles are not evenly distributed.

• A. The substance is a heterogeneous mixture because the particles are not evenly distributed.

1. Use the models of matter to BEST classify each substance.

• Model 1 is a compound, Model 2 is a mixture, Model 3 is an element

• Model 1 is a compound, Model 2 is an element, Model 3 is a mixture

• Model 1 is a mixture, Model 2 is an element, Model 3 is a compound
