Question

glucose is an example of a(n)
answer:
a element
b compound
c homogeneous mixture
d heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Glucose has the chemical formula \( C_6H_{12}O_6 \), which means it is made up of multiple different elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen) chemically bonded together. An element (option A) is a pure substance made of only one type of atom, so glucose is not an element. A homogeneous mixture (option C) and a heterogeneous mixture (option D) are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded, but glucose is a single pure substance with a fixed chemical composition. A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio, so glucose is a compound.

Answer:

B. compound
