Are compounds considered mixtures?

Compounds are not mixtures; mixtures are formed from compounds.


Are compounds made of mixtures?

what are the similarities of mixtures and compounds?


Mixtures can what but compounds cant?

Mixtures can be separated by physical methods.


How can dissolving be used to separate components of a mixtures?

Some compounds are soluble, other are not soluble; by filtration they are separated.


Do heterogeneous mixtures combine to form compounds?

No. Heterogeneous mixtures are not compounds.


Can mixtures be separated much more easily than compounds?

Yes, mixtures can generally be separated more easily than compounds because the components of a mixture retain their physical properties and can be physically separated based on differences such as size, density, or solubility. Compounds, on the other hand, are chemically bonded, making them more difficult to separate.


Why can physical methods be used to separate mixtures but not compounds?

compounds are bonded at a molecular level. they would hve to be releived of that bond before physical separaion can occur.

Are spices compounds or mixtures?

Spices are mixtures of various organic compounds such as volatile oils, resins, and pigments. These compounds contribute to the aroma, flavor, and color of the spice.


What is the same between compounds and mixtures?

Compounds are chemically mixed. You can't see the ingredients, elements, etc. in compounds. Compounds make a new thing. Compounds can't be separted easily. Compounds can't contain mixtures. Mixtures are not chemically mixed. You can see the ingredients, elements, etc. in the mixture. Mixtures don't create anything new. Mixtures can be separated easliy. Mixtures can contain compounds. Both mixtures and compounds are mixes of things. Both mixtures and compounds contain 2 or more elements, ingredients, etc. Hope I helped!


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.


Why can mixtures be easily separated an compounds cannot?

Mixtures can be easily separated because the substances in mixtures retain their individual properties and can be physically separated based on differences in physical properties. Compounds, on the other hand, are chemically bonded, making it difficult to separate them without breaking the bonds and altering the chemical composition.
