Explanation:
- A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically combined and can be separated by physical means. It does not involve any chemical reactions, so no energy changes occur when the constituents of air are mixed. Therefore, statement a) is correct.
- The purity of compounds can be tested by determining their melting points. Pure compounds have specific melting points, and any impurities present in the compound can cause the melting point to change or become a range of temperatures. Therefore, statement b) is correct.
- Cesium (Cs) and gallium (Ga) are both elements that exist as liquids at or above 300 degrees Celsius. Cesium has a melting point of 28.44 degrees Celsius and gallium has a melting point of 29.76 degrees Celsius. Therefore, statement c) is correct.
- A mixture cannot be called a single substance because it is a combination of different substances. A mixture retains the properties of its individual components and can be separated by physical means. Therefore, statement d) is incorrect.
