(h)

It is compound composed of carbon and hydrogen element.

(i) KBr

It is compound composed of potassium and bromine element.

(j) S

It is a symbol of an element named sulfur.

(k)

It is a molecule of a single element made up of 4 phosphorus atoms.

(l) LiF

It is compound composed of lithium and fluorine element.

Elements: Cs, O and S.

Molecules: S8, O2, O3 and P4.

Compounds: SO2, N2O5, CH4, KBr and, LiF.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, remember that elements are present by themselves, molecules are composed by more than one equal element and compounds by more than two different elements. In such a way:

Elements: Cs, O and S.

Molecules: S8, O2, O3 and P4.

Compounds: SO2, N2O5, CH4, KBr and, LiF.

Best regards.

the answer is true. hope it .
