You may want to think again, B has two elements and one mixture. D is correct.

how about sodium chloride?

is sodium chloride a mixture?
bronze is also a compound right?

then my ans should be A and D. is that correct? :smile:
 
sodium chloride is an ionic compound.
stainless steel is alloy so it's a compound?
how about Bronze? nitrogen oxide is a compound.

Yup.

Yup
how about Bronze?
Bronze is an alloy, and thus is a compound.
nitrogen oxide is a compound.
Yup
 
ok. thanks. but to pick out 2 groups which contain 1 element, 1 compound and 1 mixture. so i should pick D and which one?
A.) gold, sodium chloride, steel. ( there's only one element. no mixture.)
B.) oxygen,iodine , air ( 2 elements. 1 mixture.)
C.) methane, iron(III)chloride, sea-water. (there's 2 mixture. 1 compound.)
E.) bronze, stainless steel, nitrogen(IV)oxide (3 compounds.)

One of them is a compound.
 
methane and sodium chloride both are compound.
 
i see. okok. so steel, stainless steel and bronze are all mixtures?
so A and D is the answer.?
