Atoms and molecules combine to form all the matter we see in our universe. They have unique identities that characterize them and separate them from one another. Atoms can bond together to make larger samples of matter, such as compounds. Atoms are also found in mixtures. Which statement correctly contrasts a compound and a mixture?

• A compound is made of a fixed ratio of two or more elements chemically combined, and a mixture can contain two or more compounds physically combined.

• A compound contains two or more elements that are physically combined, and a mixture contains two or more compounds that are chemically combined.

• A mixture combines to form a compound that cannot be separated physically, and a compound displays physical characteristics of the mixture.

• A compound and mixture differ in the number of elements they contain, and both cannot be separated physically or chemically.
