Here are some characteristics of compounds:
- Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements and they are all chemically bonded.
- The properties of a compound are different from the elements that make it up.
- Compounds can be broken back into elements by chemical reaction, exposure to light, etc.
- Compounds can be separated only chemically, not by physical means
- The mass of the compound is determined by the mass of the elements that make it up.
- When compounds are formed heat and light is given out or absorbed.
- Compounds have definite proportions.

∙ 8y agoThere are all sorts of physical properties of compounds. Compounds can be solid, liquid or gas. They can come in a variety of colors. They can be hard or soft, metallic or non-metallic in appearance, they can be malleable or ductile (or both). They can be magnetic or not, conductive or insulative.

In which way do mixtures differ from compounds?
A mixture consists of multiple compounds rather than the compound which consists of different elements. A mixture can be separated more easily into its components and has weak and strong intermolecular attractions verses the consistently strong intermolecular bonds between atoms.
Can mixtures be separated much more easily than compounds?
Usually mixtures are easiest to separate into their substances.
What do elements compounds and mixtures have in common?
The commonalities that elements, compounds, and mixtures all have in common is that they all contain atoms. Even though they all contain atoms, the number of atoms vary in each of them.
What are mixtures elements and compounds composed of?
MixtureAnswer:They're more of an ecosystem. A number of independent organisms living together (People, microbes, intestinal flora and fauna, mites in the eyebrows, worms, parasites). Each organism is made of molecules containing various compounds. A lot of the traffic in food and oxygen is done by solutions (mixtures) like blood, bile, insulin, lymphatic fluids and mucous.
Can an element be part of a heterogeneous mixture?
An element can definitely be part of a heterogeneous mixture. Many elements when put together can make up a heterogeneous mixture.
What other elements compounds and mixtures are involved in photosynthesis?
There Are No Other Elements or Compounds And Mixtures
Are compounds and elements mixtures?
No they are not.
Are compounds and elements a mixture?
No. Elements, compounds and mixtures are 3 different terms.
Is magnesium and oxygen elements compounds or mixtures?
magnesium and oxygen are elements. They are not compounds
Does homogeneous mixtures contain elements?
Yes, all the mixtures contain compounds or elements.
Matter is classified as mixtures and what?
Matter can be classified as elements, compounds, or mixtures.
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!
Can a element be broken down into substances with different properties?
No. Compounds and mixtures are made of elements and can be broken down, as in table salt which is Sodium Chloride and can be split into sodium and chlorine gas, which are elements that have different properties.
What do you find least of in nature elements compounds or mixtures?
Elements. There are only about ninety of these found in nature, compared with millions of compounds and even more mixtures.
When elements form mixtures the elements do what?
they keep their original properties.
What do the elements do when elements form mixtures?
they keep their original properties.
Do compounds not have the same properties as the elements that formed them?
True. Compounds do not have the same properties as the elements that form them.
