A scientist recognizes a white powder as sugar due to its white crystals and its sweet taste. However, the scientist notices that the elements that make up the sugar – carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen – look nothing like sugar, nor are they sweet. What is the best explanation for this?
Substances in nature change randomly and it is impossible to predict those changes
Sugar is a compound; compounds usually have different properties than the elements of which they are made.
Sugar is an element, so its properties are unique.
Sugar is a heterogeneous mixture, so its appearance is unique.
2. Sugar is a compound; compounds usually have different properties than the elements of which they are made.
