Question

Compound is the simplest form of matter.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Understanding:

• Elements are the most basic form of matter; they can't be broken down anymore, either physically or chemically.
• Compounds are made up of two or more elements joined together by chemical bonds in certain amounts and proportions.

Explanation:

• A compound is a substance made up of two or more components mixed chemically in a certain proportion.
• Carbon and hydrogen combine to generate a wide variety of molecules.
• One of the most basic is methane, which has four times the number of hydrogen atoms as carbon atoms.
• Compounds are pure substances formed by combining two or more components.
• Chemically, they can be broken down into simpler forms.

Thus the compound is the simplest form of matter is a false statement.
