Imagine dissolving a spoonful of sugar in a glass of water. Is the sugar-water combination classified as a compound or a mixture? Explain your answer.

Answer:mixture

Explanation:

It will only be a compound if it forms another element.

Homogeneous Mixture

Explanation:

A compound is when elements are chemically combined, through intermolecular bonding. A mixture is the physical combination of substances. In simpler terms, a compound is a pure substance, while a mixture is impure.

In the sugar-water mixture, the sugar dissolves and is evenly distributed throughout the water. This makes it a homogeneous mixture.
