Compounds

  • Compounds are pure substances.
  • They are made up of two or more elements combined chemically.
  • The constituents of a compound are present in a fixed ratio.
  • Compounds have fixed properties. For example, a particular compound will have fixed temperatures at which it melts and boils.
  • A compound can have properties different from its constituents, as a new substance is formed when the constituents are chemically combined.
  • The constituents of a compound can be separated only by chemical methods.

Mixtures

  • Mixtures are impure substances.
  • They are made up of two or more substances mixed physically.
  • The constituents of a mixture are present in varying ratios.
  • Mixtures do not have fixed properties. Their properties depend on the nature of their components and the ratios in which they are combined.
  • In mixtures, no new substance is formed. The properties of a mixture are the same as the properties of its constituents.
  • The constituents of a mixture can be separated easily by physical methods.
