A compound is a substance that is made from atoms of different elements.
A compound is a substance that is made from atoms of different elements. To determine the correct answer, you can use knowledge of basic chemistry.
Distillation is a process used to separate different components in a mixture based on their boiling points. It is not a substance itself, so it is not the correct answer.
Endothermic and exothermic are terms used to describe the energy changes in chemical reactions, not substances made from different elements. Therefore, they are not the correct answers either.
A mixture refers to a combination of two or more substances that are physically combined. It can consist of different elements or compounds, but they are not chemically bonded together. While mixtures can contain substances made from different elements, they do not specifically refer to substances made solely from atoms of different elements.
Therefore, the correct answer is a compound. A compound is a substance that consists of atoms from two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. An example of a compound is water (H2O), which is made up of hydrogen and oxygen elements.
