Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the elements and compounds
The image shows two chemical formulas: H-O-H and O=C=O. H-O-H represents water (H₂O). It contains two elements, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), chemically bonded together. O=C=O represents carbon dioxide (CO₂). It contains two elements, carbon (C) and oxygen (O), chemically bonded together.
Step 2: Classify the chemical formulas
Since both H₂O and CO₂ are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements, they are classified as compounds.
Step 3: Drag and drop the chemical formulas
Drag both H-O-H and O=C=O to the box labeled "Compound".
Final Answer
Both H-O-H (water) and O=C=O (carbon dioxide) are classified as \\(\boxed{\text{Compounds}}\\).
