Why dont compounds differ from 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.


Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properies?

Yes, the molar mass is different for isoelectronic molecules.


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.


How do transitional metals differ from the D block elements?

Which elements are responsible for the different of hair of different peoples?

Colours of the hair of different people differ due to presence of transition elements in them. Brown colour of hair is due to the presence of compounds of iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) and copper (Cu), whereas molybdenum (Mo) compounds impart red colour and titanium compounds give ginger colour to the hair.


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.
