A chemist mixed two substances together: a blue powder with no smell and a colorless liquid with a strong smell. Their repeating groups of atoms are shown above
on the left. After they were mixed, the chemist analyzed the results and found two
substances. One ending substance had the repeating group of atoms shown above
on the right.
Is the ending substance the same substance as the blue powder? What happened to
the atoms of the starting substances when the ending substances formed? Be sure to
explain your answers to both of these questions.
