Correct Answer
B. ObservationExplanation
Observation refers to the bits of information that are gathered through the five senses. When we observe something, we use our senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell to gather information about the world around us. This information is then processed by our brain, allowing us to make sense of our surroundings and form a better understanding of the objects, events, or phenomena we are observing. Observation is a fundamental process in gathering data and forming hypotheses or conclusions based on the information obtained through our senses.Rate this question:

What forms when substances are combined in a physical way, but the substances do not change or combine chemically?
- A.
Compounds
- B.
Mixtures
- C.
Element
- D.
Molecules
Correct Answer
B. MixturesExplanation
When substances are combined in a physical way, but they do not undergo any chemical reactions or bonding, a mixture is formed. In a mixture, the substances retain their individual properties and can be separated by physical means. This is different from compounds, where substances chemically combine to form new substances with different properties. Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances, and molecules are the smallest units of compounds. Thus, mixtures are the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:
