When I was in High School (we are talking geological times ago). the teaching was no, but we now know of a number of physical processes that can rip molecules apart. Once they are ripped apart, the parts can be separated by filtering, diffusion, centrifuge, etc. You do have to get rather violent with them. Also, there are large differences in the binding forces depending on the molecule and which atom you wish to rip off.
What else can I help you with?
What other than physical means can matter be separated?
Only physical means; chemical means alters the chemical composition.
Why can components of mixture be separated by physical means?
If the objects are small then you can use different tools to help you out.
How do you separate mixtures and compounds?
You can break down a mixture by physical means
What can physically be separated in a substance?
Components of a substance, such as particles, molecules, or atoms, can physically be separated through physical methods like filtration, distillation, or evaporation. Different physical properties like solubility, boiling point, or density can be utilized to separate these components.
What element or compound cannot be physically separated?
An element or compound that cannot be physically separated is an atom. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element and cannot be further broken down by physical means. Compounds, on the other hand, can be separated into their individual elements through chemical reactions.
What cannot be seperated by physical means?
Elements
Can a compound be separated by a physical means?
no, it can not be separated by a physical process.
What can be separated by chemical means but not by physical means?
A chemical compound, such as salt, can be separated into its individual elements through chemical reactions, but not through physical processes like filtration or distillation. This is because chemical means involve breaking and forming bonds between atoms in the compound, which physically separating the compound cannot achieve.
What can be separated by chemical or physical means?
A Compound.
Pure substances can be separated by physical means. true or false?
False. Pure substances cannot be separated by physical means. They are chemically uniform and do not contain any impurities that can be separated through physical methods like filtration or distillation.
What can be seprated by chemical means but not by physical means?
The elements of a chemical compound can be separated only by chemical means, but not by physical means.
What has no chemical change-each keep its own properties but can be separated?
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that do not undergo a chemical change and can be separated by physical means. Each component in a mixture retains its original properties.
Is iron an compound or mixture?
Of course Element. Iron = Fe It cannot be separated by physical or chemical means and hence is an element Mixtures can be separated by physical means and compound by chemical means
Can Mixtures be seperated?
Mixtures can be separated by physical means.
Substances that can be separated by physical means known as?
Mixtures.
What other than physical means can matter be separated?
Only physical means; chemical means alters the chemical composition.
What is pure matter?
Matter is a pure substance if it can only be separated by chemical means, NOT physical means. This could be a compound or an element. The opposite is a mixture which can be separated/broken into smaller parts by physical means.
