Elements are atoms that consist of different protons. They are the simplest thing that defines an atom. The only thing that defines them is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons they have, as all protons, electrons and neutrons are identical. (I think)
Compounds are elements joined chemically together. They must be in a set ratio (e.g. water must be 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom) They can only be separated chemically (e.g electrolysis).
Mixtures are stuff that contain different substances or materials. They are not bonded together chemically. There is no set ratio, unlike compounds. They can be separated by physical methods. (for example, salt in water is a mixture. They can be separated by distillation.)
What else can I help you with?
What are two was in which mixtures differ from compounds?
A compound comprises the same proportion of its components, a mixture can be made up of varying amounts.A compound may have physical and chemical properties which are quite different to those of any of its components. A mixture retains many of the physical and chemical properties of its main ingredient.
Why can physical methods be used to separate mixtures but not compounds?
compounds are bonded at a molecular level. they would hve to be releived of that bond before physical separaion can occur.
Is a bowl of soup a heterogeneous mixture?
Vegetable and chicken noodle are heterogeneous mixtures, but campbell's cream of tomato or chicken broth are homogeneous mixtures.
What are the three kinds of mixtures?
See the link below; read attentively.
Did the Quin dynasty invent gunpowder?
yes he did invent the gun powder. it was a combination of a flammable tree sap and a oily mixtures they found by the springs.
Are compounds and elements mixtures?
No they are not.
Does homogeneous mixtures contain elements?
Yes, all the mixtures contain compounds or elements.
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
What other elements compounds and mixtures are involved in photosynthesis?
In addition to carbon dioxide and water, other elements involved in photosynthesis include oxygen and hydrogen. Compounds like chlorophyll and enzymes are also critical in the process. Additionally, mixtures such as sunlight and nutrients in the soil play important roles in supporting photosynthesis.
What do you find least of in nature elements compounds or mixtures?
Pure elements are found least in nature compared to compounds and mixtures. Most elements exist bonded to other elements to form compounds or mixed with other substances to form mixtures in nature. Pure elements are less common due to their tendency to react and combine with other elements.
Why dont compounds differ from mixtures?
Compounds differ from mixtures because compounds have a fixed chemical composition with elements chemically bonded in a specific ratio, while mixtures can vary in composition with no fixed ratio. Compounds have specific properties different from their constituent elements, while mixtures retain the properties of their components.
Who found out the difference between compounds and mixtures?
A compound contain elements chemically bonded.A mixture contain two or more compounds; they can be separated by physical procedures.
Is iron sulfide compounds elements or mixtures?
compound
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!
Do elements that combine in changing ratios form mixtures?
When elements combine in changing ratios, they form compounds rather than mixtures. Mixtures are made up of different substances that are not chemically bonded together, while compounds are formed by chemical bonding between elements in specific ratios.
Chocolate chips are elements mixtures or compounds?
a heterogeneous mixture
