Classify each molecular picture as
a pure substance or a mixture. If it
is a pure substance, classify it as
an element or a compound. If it is
a mixture, classify it as
homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Conductivity is the degree to which an electric
charge or heat can easily travel through a material.
Hardness is substance ability to resist scratching by
other materials. A property used to describe minerals
using the Mohs scale of hardness.
Magnetism is the magnet's exerted force to
attract or resist one another.
Corrosivity is the ability of a substance to
erode or destroy a material.
Temperature is the level hotness or coldness of
a substance expressed in degrees.
Volume “is the occupied space by a three-
dimensional object that is quantified and expressed
in cubic units (such as quarts or liters)”
Length “is the measurement or extent of something
from end to end; the greater of two or the greatest of
three dimensions of a body "
Combustibility refers to a substance's
capacity to burn when uncovered to fire
or a chemical reaction. It characterizes
how rapidly a substance may touch off or
burn
Flammability is the tendency of a
substance to burn or ignite, initiating fire
or combustion
Toxicity is the extent to which a chemical
substance can corrupt a living being.
Ability to oxidize occurs when oxygen is gained,
hydrogen is lost, or electrons are also lost. It is a
chemical property where the substance’s oxidation
number is altered.
