A

C
Model Y shows a compound because there is more than one type of atom.

D

Answer 1

b is the.answer for this problem

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a compound, is a chemical substance containing two or more elements chemically bonded together.

Model X clearly shows a compound because there are many substances which have two elements chemically bonded to each other.

Model Y does not show a compound because although there are three different atoms, they are not chemically bonded together. This model would most likely represent a solution.
