Want this question answered?
There could be many compounds in a solution. But there has to be at least two of them. For example salt water is a solution.
Since the salt is heavier than the water its not going to evaporate. So after the water evaporates you have the salt and other compounds left. Which means you have separated water from other compounds. HOPE THIS HELPS
Salts as a group do but other compounds do not.
It is used to make table salt.
A salt
Water, salt and ammonia are inorganic compounds.
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds
What allows compounds to dissolve such as table salt?
It could be said that water molecules do have "holes", although a better term would be empty space. This is why compounds like sugar and salt can dissolve in water, as well as some other chemical properties that make this possible.
They form a salt maybe not table salt but a salt. NaCl is our common talbe salt, but chemistry sees many other compounds as salts.
Common salt and other such ionic compounds
Oxygen is an element - the other two are compounds.
