Naturally occurring sulfur crystals
Sulfur occurs naturally as elemental sulfur, sulfide, and sulfate minerals and in hydrogen sulfide. This mineral deposit is composed of a mixture of substances.
Key PointsA substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.
A mixture is composed of many different types of atoms or molecules.
A mixture may contain several substances.

A solute is not a mixture. A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solvent to make a solution.
mixtures differ from compounds because mixtures are made up of random things that have no similarities and compounds don't.
Homogeneous mixtures are uniform mixtures where the components are evenly distributed. They differ from heterogeneous mixtures, which have uneven distribution of components. Homogeneous mixtures are also known as solutions.
Mixtures: can be separated by physical means
Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are physically mixed together but not chemically bonded. Solutions, on the other hand, are a type of mixture where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another substance (solvent) at a molecular level. Solutions are homogeneous, meaning they have a uniform composition throughout, while mixtures can be heterogeneous, with visible differences in the components.

No they are mixtures
Compounds differ from mixtures because compounds have a fixed chemical composition with elements chemically bonded in a specific ratio, while mixtures can vary in composition with no fixed ratio. Compounds have specific properties different from their constituent elements, while mixtures retain the properties of their components.
what is mixtures
The two main branches are pure substances and mixtures.
A compound is chemically bonded unlike mixtures and compounds you can't take the elements apart, mixtures you can.
