f. none of the above
Elements, Compounds and Mixtures:
Chemistry focuses on the properties and reactivity of the chemical elements. There are currently 118 known elements organized in the periodic table. The representative unit of any element is a single atom. Atoms of different elements can bond together to create a new particle known as a chemical compound. We can mix together different elements, different compounds, or elements with compounds. These mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, with the homogeneous type identified by a uniform composition of the contributing substances.
