A compound is, by definition, a single, and hence pure substance (composed of molecules), and a mixture is, also by definition, two or more substances which are mixed together.

How are the particles different in compounds and mixtures?

In compounds, particles are chemically bonded together to form a new substance with its own unique properties, whereas in mixtures, particles are not chemically bonded and can be easily separated by physical means. Compounds have a fixed ratio of atoms, while mixtures can vary in composition.


Do compounds usually have variable ratios where as mixtures usually have fixed ratios?

No, its the opposite. Compounds have fixed ratios, think of H20, while mixtures can vary. You can make many types of mixtures out of the same things. Because of bonding compounds have fixed ratios.

Is trail mix a compound solution mixture or a element?

I think trail mix is most likely a mixture element because it can be seperated into "parts". Without having to seperate it chemically. Compounds have to be separated chemically. And mixtures can be seperated physically. But, that's just what I think.


Atoms that are made of more than one atom are examples of?

First of all, I think you meant molecules that contain more tham one kind of atom. These are called compounds. The two different elements are fused together chemically, and cannot be separated easily. Compounds should not be confused with mixtures, which are physically combined and can be separated.
