When components do not combine chemically, it is a compound substance mixture molecule

Option (c) is the correct answer.

When an atom donates or shares its valence electrons with other atoms then it results in the formation of a new atom. This means a chemical has occurred as the chemical composition of products will be different from the reactants.

Whereas a substance is a matter which contains specific composition with some specific properties.

When two or more substance are mixed together then it is known as a mixture. It is not necessary that substances added will combine with each other.

When atoms of similar element chemically combine together then they result in the formation of a molecule.

For example,

Therefore, we can conclude that when components do not combine chemically, it is a mixture.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
