Look at the image below: which of the following statements is true? a. the figure is an atom and an element. b. the figure is a molecule and a compound. c. the figure is a molecule and an element. d. the figure is a compound, but not a molecule.

In the given image, we can see two differently colored spheres joined together to form a combination and there are 5 such combinations.If each small sphere represents an atom, then each combination represents a molecule of a compound. This is because an element contains only similar type of atoms. A compound contains two or more different types of atoms.

Therefore, the figure is a molecule and a compound.

For this reason,  statement B is true.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
