Can a mixture be a compound?

By itself, a compound is homogeneous, but it is not a mixture.To be a mixture, two (or more) elements or compounds need to be combined.And to be a homogeneous mixture, they have to combine in such a way as to not appear separate: no lumps, particles, or layers. This is called being uniform throughout.A classic example of a homogeneous mixture is salt or sugar which has been dissolved completely in water; most mixed drinks (in which juice, milk, and/or another alcoholic beverage has been dissolved in alcohol) would also qualify.
