Can a mixture be a compound?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No. Water is a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen it is homogeneous. Water with dirt suspended in it is heterogeneous.

Salt is a compound of sodium and chlorine. Pure salt is a white crystal that is homogeneous. Sea salt is sold with some contaminants left in it, flecks of other compounds, perhaps sea weed, then it is heterogeneous.

Answer 3

No. A compound is a pure substance composed of atoms bonded together in definite proportions.

Answer 4

No, compounds are homogeneous substances (definite composition). A mixture of compounds, however, can be a heterogeneous mixture (depending on the substances).

Answer 5

No. By definition heterogeneous material is a mixture.

Answer 6

A mixture is composed from two or more compounds.

Answer 7

A compound is not a mixture !
