compounds are bonded at a molecular level. they would hve to be releived of that bond before physical separaion can occur.

What is the difference between elements compounds and important mixtures?

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 are some methods for decomposing compounds?

thermal decomposition: decomposing by the means of heatelectric decompostion: decomposing by sending a electric current through the compoundthere are some mor e but these are all i know


What are the most effective methods for concussion treatment?

The most effective methods for concussion treatment include rest, avoiding physical activity, limiting screen time, staying hydrated, and following a gradual return-to-activity plan. It is important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and management of symptoms.


What does the transportation industry consist of?

Transportation systems move goods and people around the world. Physical distribution of goods is accomplished by various means: truck, railroad, airplane, ship or boat, and pipeline, or a combination of these methods.


What methods did the Nazis use to kill occupants of their concentration camps?

Lots, from gas chambers to just straight up lining them up, and shooting them into a ditch. They would separate women from their children and break families apart.

Mixtures can what but compounds cant?

Mixtures can be separated by physical methods.


What is heterogeneous mixtures often separated by?

Heterogeneous mixtures are often separated by physical methods such as filtration, distillation, or centrifugation. These methods take advantage of the differences in properties such as size, density, or solubility of the components in the mixture to separate them effectively.


What is cromotography?

How do you separate the mixture of toothpaste?

In practical terms, you don't. When people say it's possible to separate mixtures ... but not compounds ... by purely physical methods, those hypothetical "methods" include things like very fine tweezers and a strong magnifying glass.


How do you separate mixtures and compounds?

You can break down a mixture by physical means


Can a compound be seperated into its consistent elements by physical methods?

Yes it can. Water, table salt, and sugar are all examples of compounds and can all be decomposed into simpler substances through physical means.^^ I believed that water and table salt would be a mixture, mixtures are the non-chemical means not compounds, with compounds there is a chemical change.


What can you use to separate mixtures of identify compounds?

You can use techniques such as distillation, chromatography, and filtration to separate mixtures and identify compounds within them. These techniques rely on differences in physical or chemical properties of the substances in the mixture to achieve separation and analysis.


Do mixtures have always more than phase?

yea because the component of mixture can be separate by physical methods like filtration.


What are two ways in which mixtures differ from compounds list four methods that can be used to separate mixtures?

1. Mixtures are combined by physical methods and hence can be seperated by physical methods but compounds are combined chemically hence can not be easily seperated 2. Substances in a mixture retain their normal chemistry (like Oxygen will behave like oxygen in air regardless of presence of other gases in air)(air is a mixture) that is the substances in air exist as seperate molecules while elements in compound exist as ions often times and have different behaviour,we may also add that mixtures can not be represented by a chemical formula but a compound can. Method of seperating Mixtures include: filteration,crystallization, magnetic seperation,distillation,evaporation,fractional distillation,sieving etc.


How do the general methods for separating mixtures and compounds differ?

The general methods for separating mixtures involve physical processes like filtration, distillation, and chromatography based on the physical properties of the components. On the other hand, compounds are separated using chemical processes like reactions or extractions based on the chemical properties of the compounds. Mixing of elements and compounds can lead to varying methods of separation.
