Answer 1

A a compound because its parts cannot be separated through physical means.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sugar is a compound because its parts cannot be separated through physical means.

A compound is a substance composed of two or more kinds of atoms joined together in a definite grouping.

The properties of a compound are distinct from those of the elements that makes them up.

• A compound and an element are both classified as pure substances due to the homogeneity in their composition.
