Methane is a colorless gas, and diamond is a hard solid. A methane molecule is made of one carbon atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. Diamond is an extended structure made of carbon atoms connected in a repeating pattern. Draw a model of a few methane molecules and a model of the extended structure in diamond. Use your model to explain whether methane and carbon are pure substances, such as compounds or elements, or are mixtures.
