Two substances are labelled Sample X and Sample Y.

Which conclusion is correct?

• Sample X must be an element and Sample Y must be a compound

• Both samples are pure substances

• Sample Y is pure because it doesn't contain any compounds

• Sample X is a pure substance and Sample Y is a mixture

Select three.

• It is a mixture, not a compound.

• Hydrogen and oxygen particles are not chemically bonded to each other.

• The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen particles CANNOT be varied.

• Each particle contains two atoms.

• It has the same properties as water.
