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.)

∙ 15y agoFor a mixture to form, there is no definite ratio for the components. For example if you are making tea you add sugar in any amount as you prefer.
But for the formation of a compound, the components have to combine in a fixed ratio by mass. For example for the formation of water, hydrogen and oxygen should combine in the ratio 2:1 by mass.
