Just by looking at a sample of matter in real life, would you be able to tell the difference between a homogeneous mixture and a compound? Why or why not?
a) Yes, because compounds have a uniform composition while mixtures do not.
b) No, because both compounds and homogeneous mixtures look the same visually.
c) Yes, because compounds have varied compositions unlike homogeneous mixtures.
d) No, because both compounds and mixtures exhibit distinct physical properties.
