In the image, each circle represents an atom. Each different color of atom represents a different type of atom, and if two atoms are touching they are bonded together.
Given this information, this image represents:

The answer is “a mixture.” In this image we can see at least two types of atoms, so we know there is more than one element. The molecules in this image come in at least two varieties, so there must be at least two different compounds - meaning that this is a mixture.

A molecule is:
A molecule is:
A molecule is defined as a group of any two atoms. When looking at a substance, this classification can be combined with element, compound, or mixture, but not with "an atom." So you can have a molecule of an element, a molecule of a compound, or several molecules of different varieties which create a mixture.

An element is:
An element is:
A molecule is defined as a group of a the same kind of atom. When looking at a substance, this classification can be combined with either atoms or molecules. So you can have either an atom of an element, or molecule of an element- as long as there is only one type of atom present. If there is more than one kind of atom present, then you have either a compound, or a mixture.

"NaCl" is the chemical symbol for salt. Salt is an example of:
"NaCl" is the chemical symbol for salt. Salt is an example of:
Salt is a compound because it has more than one type of element. Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium. and Cl is the chemical symbol for Chlorine. These elements are bonded together to form a compound, Sodium Chloride.

Carla is working on a science project using several different household materials. She has a bowl of sugar, a glass of milk, a handful of rocks, and a few coins. While she is not looking, her younger sister pours all of her materials into a a bowl together and stirs them up. The sugar dissolves in the milk, but everything else stays the same. What did Carla's sister create?

What did Carla's sister create?
Carla's sister made a mixture because these items are different compounds and will not combine chemically. Even though the sugar dissolves into the milk, the solution is not the result of a chemical reaction.

Given this information, this image represents:
The answer is “a compound.” Compounds are groups of atoms of two or more elements. The image cannot be a single element because there is more than one type of atom present. The image cannot be a mixture because there is only one kind of molecule present. The image cannot be a single molecule because each group of atoms is a molecule.
