Answer:

c)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The true statement about compounds is- c) Compound is homogeneous and has a fixed composition.

• A compound is made up of two or more different elements that are evenly distributed throughout the compound.
• In a compound, the different elements are chemically combined in a definite proportion of their mass.
• Hence, the compound is homogeneous and has a fixed composition.

Note: A substance is said to be heterogeneous when components of that substance are not evenly mixed and hence, it has a variable composition.
