Question

Statement 1 (S1): Water is an example of molecule of compound.
Statement 2 (S2): Ozone is an example of molecule of element.

• A. S1 is true but S2 is false
• B. Both S1 and S2 are true
• C. Both S1 and S2 are false
• D. S1 is false but S2 is true

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Both S1 and S2 are true

Water is made up of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom. There are more than one kind of atom present in water molecule. Hence, it is a molecule of compound.
Ozone is a triatomic molecule contaning 3 oxygen atoms. There are only one kind of atom (oxygen atom) present in it. Hence, it is a molecule of element.
Therefore, both S1 and S2 are true.
