Unit 9.2- Matter

Which of the following best describes the difference between a mixture and a pure substance?

• A mixture contains only one type of atom, while a pure substance contains multiple types of atoms.

• A mixture can be separated into its components by physical means, while a pure substance cannot.

• A pure substance can be separated into its components by physical means, while a mixture cannot.

• A mixture is always a liquid, while a pure substance is always a solid.

Explain how the atomic theory has evolved over time and why scientific theories may be modified but rarely discarded.

• The atomic theory has remained unchanged since its inception.

• The atomic theory has been modified as new evidence has been discovered, showing that scientific theories are refined over time.

• Scientific theories are discarded when new evidence is found, which is why the atomic theory is no longer used.

• The atomic theory was discarded in favor of the theory of relativity.

Why is the atomic theory considered a scientific theory and not a law?

• Because it is a guess and not based on evidence.

• Because it explains observations and can be modified with new evidence, unlike laws which describe phenomena.

• Because it is a law that has been proven false.

• Because it is not widely accepted by scientists.

How can you distinguish between a solution and a pure substance?

• A solution is always a solid, while a pure substance is always a liquid.

• A solution can be separated into its components by physical means, while a pure substance cannot.

• A pure substance can be separated into its components by physical means, while a solution cannot.

• A solution is a type of mixture, while a pure substance has a fixed composition.

What is the primary reason scientific theories, such as the atomic theory, are modified over time?

• New evidence and discoveries that provide a better understanding of the natural world.

• Theories are based on opinions and change with popular belief.

• Theories are discarded every few years to make room for new ideas.

• Theories are modified to align with laws.

Explain how the finite number of elements can form a multitude of compounds.

• Elements can only form a limited number of compounds due to their fixed properties.

• Elements can combine in various ways to create a vast number of compounds.

• Elements cannot form compounds; they exist only in their pure form.

• Elements can only form compounds with similar elements.
