An element is a single atom at it's most basic level i.e. silver or oxygen A compound is a chemical bonding of 2 or more elements to create a new substance.(example would be water/H20/ which is two atoms of the ELEMENTS of hydrogen combined with one ELEMENT of oxygen) A mixture is 2 or more types of atoms or compounds that are not chemically bonded together but suspended. (example would be chicken noodle soup - they are not chemically bonded together but are suspended together in the same space)

Do different compounds found together but not combined chemically make up an element a mixture or a compound?

Different compounds found together but not combined chemically make up a mixture. In a mixture, the substances retain their individual properties and can be separated using physical methods. A compound is formed when elements are chemically combined in a fixed ratio.


What is formed when different materials are placed together but keeping the their own properties?

They form a compound. The definition is usually two or more elements combined chemically.

What is formed when one barium atom combines with two sodium atoms?

When two different elements combined chemically, a compound is formed. When two different elements are combined physically, a mixture is formed. In the case of barium and sodium, a mixture is formed because they are both metals and they do not combine chemically with each other. If you mix up the chemical symbols, it will be BANANA, but a banana is a fruit, not a chemical symbol of a compound. The actual answer is "a mixture of Barium and Sodium". That's all.
