Porter · Answer 1

No chemical bonding take place.

And the elements or compounds in the mixtures have no definite proportions.

Brooks Forbes · Answer 2

I would go with B. The elements of sugar and water have been known for a long time, so A is irrelevant. Mixtures can contain compounds - most of the time mixtures are composed of compounds mixed together, so C is false as well. Chemical formulas are designed to handle different proportions - that's why they have the numbers before the chemical name, such as 2H2O. B is your best bet for this one, as a mixture is more than one chemical combined but not bonded.
