Given below are two statements. Read the statements carefully and select the correct option.
Statement I: Properties of a compound are different from those of its constituent elements, whereas a mixture shows the properties of its constituting elements or compounds.
Statement II: The constituents of a mixture can be separated fairly easily by physical methods, whereas the constituents of a compound can be separated only by chemical or electrochemical reactions.
-
A.
Both Statements I and II are true.
-
B.
Both Statements I and II are false.
-
C.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
-
D.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Correct Answer:
A. Both Statements I and II are true.
Explanation:
The given statements compare the properties and separation methods of compounds and mixtures. Statement I is accurate because compounds are unique substances with properties distinct from their original elements, whereas mixtures retain the characteristics of their individual components. Statement II is also correct because the components of a mixture are not chemically bonded and can be isolated through physical processes like filtration or evaporation. In contrast, the elements in a compound are chemically bonded and require chemical or electrochemical reactions to be separated. Since both assertions are scientifically valid, the correct option is that both Statement I and Statement II are true.
