Is sea water an compound

Answer 1

No*.

* Water itself, is a compound (H2O), but sea water is a mixture of compounds (mostly ionized salts and lots of organic compounds). It's a colloid. It's also, a mixture of solids in liquid and liquids in liquid.

Answer 2

According to a prominent source, a compound is "An attack or counterattack involving several moves." Though oceans are innately chaotic, violent even, they do not often attack, and rarely attack with several moves.

Another definition of a compound, from wiktionary.com, is "an enclosure within which workers, prisoners, or soldiers are confined". This is slightly more accurate. many workers, prisoners and soldiers gave their great and glorious lives to the ocean, which is their eternal prison. in this sense, the ocean is certainly a compound.

lastly, there is the esoteric meaning from chemistry, regarding molecules and so forth. while water is technically a compound, "ocean" is not a homogeneous substance. Thus, while an ocean contains many substances (fish. fish eyes, fish poo) which in turn contain many compounds (mono sodium glutamate, di phosphorus obaminate), it is not accurate to call "ocean" a compound.

Answer 3
