Is gelatin a compound mixture or element?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are referencing with the old "gelatine":

• If its the soft, flavoured dessert you eat under names like Jello. its a mixture.
  
• If, on the other hand, you mean the colorless or slightly yellow, transparent, brittle protein formed by boiling the specially prepared skin, bones,and connective tissue of animals and used in foods, drugs, and photographic film, it is a compound. It is made from the hydrolysis of collagen.
  
• It is not an element as it is made up principally of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
