Explanations:

According to the question, we are to categorize the definitions in the box as elements, compounds, or mixtures.

For ELEMENTS

• Since element,s consist of only one kind of atom,, hence they are ,substances made up of one type of particle (atoms or molecules)

• Since matter is anything that has mass and occupies space and is made up of substances called elements, hence, they are anything that has mass and volume

,

• Cannot be broken into simpler kinds, of matter since elements are made of atoms.

For COMPOUNDS

• Compounds can only be separated by chemical means but not by physical means. Hence we can say that ,compounds cannot be separated by physical means, but can be chemically

• Consists of atoms of two or more different elements bonded together

,

• Has properties unique to the element that makes it up

FOR MIXTURES

• Since the mixture consists of, two or more different elements ,and/or compounds physically, hence they can be separated by physical means.

• They can be separated into simpler types of matter by physical means and keeps the, properties of parts, that make it up.
