Which of the following pairs correctly matches an element and a compound?

$$O_2$$ (element), $$CO_2$$ (compound)

$$NaCl$$ (element), $$H_2$$ (compound)

$$H_2O$$ (element), $$O_2$$ (compound)

$$C_6H_{12}O_6$$ (element), $$Fe$$ (compound)

Which of the following best explains why $$CO_2$$ is considered a compound?

It is made up of two or more different elements chemically combined.

It contains only one type of atom.

It can be separated by physical means.

A student is given two samples: one is $$O_2$$ and the other is $$H_2O$$ . How can the student determine which is an element and which is a compound using chemical formulas?

By checking which formula has more than one type of atom

By checking which formula has more than one molecule

By checking which formula has more than one letter

By checking which formula is longer

A scientist discovers a new substance with the chemical formula $$X_2Y$$ . Based on this formula, what can you infer about the substance?

It is a compound because it contains two different types of atoms.

It is an element because it has only one type of atom.

It is a mixture because it has more than one letter.

It is a solution because it has two elements.

Compare and contrast $$H_2$$ and $$H_2O$$ in terms of their chemical composition and classification.

$$H_2$$ is an element made of two hydrogen atoms; $$H_2O$$ is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Both are elements because they contain hydrogen.

Both are compounds because they have more than one atom.

$$H_2$$ is a compound; $$H_2O$$ is an element.

A student claims that $$NaCl$$ and $$Cl_2$$ are both compounds because they both have more than one atom. Use your knowledge of chemical symbols and formulas to evaluate this claim.

The claim is incorrect; $$NaCl$$ is a compound, but $$Cl_2$$ is an element because it contains only chlorine atoms.

The claim is correct because both have more than one atom.

The claim is incorrect; both are elements.

The claim is correct because both are made of molecules.
