∙ 11y agoMixtures are separated into their components by physical means, without causing a change in chemical composition. Compounds can be decomposed into simpler substances only by chemical means, meaning a chemical reaction (change).

What other elements compounds and mixtures are involved in photosynthesis?
There Are No Other Elements or Compounds And Mixtures
Why dont compounds differ from mixtures?
Compounds differ from mixtures; the chemical composition is different !
How do mixtures differ from compound?
mixtures differ from compounds because mixtures are made up of random things that have no similarities and compounds don't.
Is organic and inorganic compounds are mix?
Chemical compounds are not mixtures !
What are three different ways that compounds and mixtures differ?
Mixtures have widely variable contents, whereas compounds have fixed contents. In mixtures, each component retains its characteristics, but compounds may act wildly different from their component parts. Attempting to break down compounds requires vast amounts of energy, yet mixtures can be separated rather simply.
Are compounds considered mixtures?
Compounds are not mixtures; mixtures are formed from compounds.
Write about mixtures and compounds?
•Write about mixtures & compounds?
Are compounds made of mixtures?
what are the similarities of mixtures and compounds?
Mixtures can what but compounds cant?
Mixtures can be separated by physical methods.
Can mixtures be separated much more easily than compounds?
Usually mixtures are easiest to separate into their substances.
How can dissolving be used to separate components of a mixtures?
Some compounds are soluble, other are not soluble; by filtration they are separated.
Do heterogeneous mixtures combine to form compounds?
No. Heterogeneous mixtures are not compounds.
Are spices compounds or mixtures?
They are mixtures!
What is the same between compounds and mixtures?
Compounds are chemically mixed. You can't see the ingredients, elements, etc. in compounds. Compounds make a new thing. Compounds can't be separted easily. Compounds can't contain mixtures. Mixtures are not chemically mixed. You can see the ingredients, elements, etc. in the mixture. Mixtures don't create anything new. Mixtures can be separated easliy. Mixtures can contain compounds. Both mixtures and compounds are mixes of things. Both mixtures and compounds contain 2 or more elements, ingredients, etc. Hope I helped!
Why can physical methods be used to separate mixtures but not compounds?
compounds are bonded at a molecular level. they would hve to be releived of that bond before physical separaion can occur.
Are coins compounds or mixtures?
I bealive they are mixtures.
Why dont compounds differ from mixtures?
Compounds differ from mixtures; the chemical composition is different !
