An element is a single atom at it's most basic level i.e. silver or oxygen A compound is a chemical bonding of 2 or more elements to create a new substance.(example would be water/H20/ which is two atoms of the ELEMENTS of hydrogen combined with one ELEMENT of oxygen) A mixture is 2 or more types of atoms or compounds that are not chemically bonded together but suspended. (example would be chicken noodle soup - they are not chemically bonded together but are suspended together in the same space)

Hope this answers your question

What substance is a chemical compound?
Basic definition. A compound is formed when two or more different elements are chemically combined. A substance can describe a mixture of elements or compounds.
What contains 2 or more elements chemically combined?
A compound forms whenever 2 or more different elements are chemically bonded.
What it is substance formed when two or more elements combine?
A compound
Is copper choride an element or compound or mixture?
an element is a single atom of a substance. compound is formed when two are more mixtures are chemically combined. this can be separated only by chemical reactions. mixture is a group of substances which can be separated by physical process. so copper chloride is a compound.
A new compound is formed by a?
chemical mixture
What substance is a chemical compound?
Basic definition. A compound is formed when two or more different elements are chemically combined. A substance can describe a mixture of elements or compounds.
What is formed when different materials are placed together but keeping the their own properties?
They form a compound. The definition is usually two or more elements combined chemically.
What is formed when one barium atom combines with two sodium atoms?
When two different elements combined chemically, a compound is formed. When two different elements are combined physically, a mixture is formed. In the case of barium and sodium, a mixture is formed because they are both metals and they do not combine chemically with each other. If you mix up the chemical symbols, it will be BANANA, but a banana is a fruit, not a chemical symbol of a compound. The actual answer is "a mixture of Barium and Sodium". That's all.
What contains 2 or more elements chemically combined?
A compound forms whenever 2 or more different elements are chemically bonded.
Is a compound a kind of mixture?
yes because it is formed when atoms of two or more elements are combined.
How is pure compound different from mixture?
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.
A mixture is formed when?
two or more elements are physically combined, a mixture can be separted into its indivudal element by different means
What it is substance formed when two or more elements combine?
A compound
Is mixtures different from compounds?
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.
What happens when different types of matter are combined?
A mixture is formed and if any chemical reaction among these matters take place, either heat is evolved or taken in to form a new compound.
How are separating mixtures and compounds different?
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.
Why is a compound different from a mixture?
Mixture - A physical blend of two or more substances that are NOT chemically combined. Compound - A substance that contains two or more elements CHEMICALLY combined in a fixed proportion. Compound is chemically combined, mixture is not chemically combined. Cake would be a compound because all of the ingredients are together to make batter you cannot see the individual components (eggs, flour, sugar, etc). Trail mix would be a mixture because you can see every individual item (m&m, peanuts, raisins, etc.)
