Does this model represent a compound? Explain your answer.

Question illustration
Answer:

No, this model does not represent a compound. A compound consists of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Because both spheres in this model are the same color, they represent atoms of the same element, making this a diatomic molecule of an element rather than a compound.

Susana heats up a sample of red crystals. While the sample is being heated, a gas is released and a blue powder is left after the heating. Is the sample of red crystals an element or a compound? Explain your answer.

Answer:

The red crystal sample is a compound. This is because it was broken down into two different substances—a gas and a blue powder—when heated. Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means or heating.
