A compound is a simple substance, a mixture is formed from two or more compounds.
A mixture can be separated by physical procedures, a compound not.
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.
Compounds are not mixtures; mixtures are formed from compounds.
No. Elements, compounds and mixtures are 3 different terms.
Two or more different compounds
Dehydrated onions are mixtures because they are made up of different compounds, such as water, sugars, proteins, and volatile compounds that give onions their flavor and aroma.
Not necessarily. Mixtures can consist of different compounds in different states (e.g., a mixture of water and oil) or the same compounds in different states (e.g., a mixture of ice and liquid water). The key characteristic of mixtures is that they can be physically separated.
what are the similarities of mixtures and compounds?
Mixtures can be separated by physical methods.
Compounds use pure elements mixed together it will turn impure. Mixtures have impurities because ingredients anyway.
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.
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.
