• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Compound: When the molecule of a pure substance contains two or more atoms of different elements combined together in a definite ratio, then it is said to be a molecule of a compound.
• Water is ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$, which is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water is a compound because it is made up of two distinct elements.
• Carbon dioxide is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms together. As a result, ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is a compound.

Hence, the given statement is true.
