Atoms, Compounds, Formulae and Mixtures Quiz

15 Questions

Quiz Description

The quiz, Atoms, Compounds, Formulae and Mixture Quiz, is made up of 15 questions, each question has four options of which only one of them is correct. The questions have been set based on the national curriculum and they meet up to the examination standard having varying difficulties to ensure that students succeed in their end of year examinations.

Being the smallest unit of ordinary matter which forms chemical elements, atoms which are two or more in an element are known as a compound, in other words, a compound is a substance which is made up of two or more atoms of different elements. A mixture on the other hand is a substance which is made up of two or more substances
