It''s not D because a compound always has a formula.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

So tht leaves us to B and C. Which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

No not d because a compound always has a formula (for example water or H2O, always has that ratio.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Yes C. It's not b, because compounds consist of two or more elements, but they are still pure substances because there is only one particle - the elements are chemically joined.
