Best Answer

An atom (which is a compound) is chemically joined. But mixtures are just mixed together, the way you can tell this is that if there no reactions when the things are mixed together it is a mixture, but if something (for example) fizzed, changed colour, quantity, volume then it is a compound.

How are the particles different in compounds and mixtures?

If you think to atoms they are identical.


Is mixtures or isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons?

Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.


Can mixtures make up matter?

Yes. Atoms can be alone or make mixtures called molecules, and mixtures of molecules and atoms make up everything.


How are compounds diffident from mixtures?

Compounds are composed of atoms of different elements chemically bonded in definite proportions. The components of mixtures are not chemically combined and they do not have definite proportions.


What do mixtures and pure substances have in common?

They are made up of atoms or groups of atoms.


Are all mixtures composed of molecules?

Usually yes, but they could be mixtures of atoms.


How are compounds and mixtures the same?

one they are both made of a group of atoms


Are atoms different elements designed to form compounds?

Atoms are the smallest particle possible of an element. Compounds are made up of molecules which have more than one elemental type of atom; compounds are chemical mixtures of different elements.


Is it possible to have mixtures containing compounds ions and atoms?

yes


How can mixtures of the same substances be different?

Depending up on the variable amount of different substances in the mixtures these can be different.


What are homogeneous solutions?

They are atoms that contain soulutions of mixtures to combine a solvent.


Is a mixture the same throughout?

No, there are millions of different possibilities. First of all, there are two types of mixtures, heterogeneous and homogeneous. In heterogeneous mixtures you can observe the different components that make them up. Concrete, jello with fruit salad, sand and iron filings, are examples of heterogeneous mixtures. Sugar water, salt water, kool-aid, coffee, tea, copper sulfate solution, Benedict's solution, are examples of homogeneous mixtures and are called solutions. In addition to different examples of mixtures, they can all have different concentrations of their different components.
