an element is a substance that cannot be chemicallly converted into simpler substances or a substance in which all of the atoms have the same number of protons and therefore the same chemical characteristics. a compound is a substance that contains two or more elements, the atoms of these elements always combining in the same whole-number ratio. a mixture is a sample of matter that contains two or more pure substances and has variable compostion...meaning it can combine in any manner unlike a compound that can only combine in whole number ratios. a solution is a mixture whose particles are so evenly distributed that the relative concentrations of the components are the same throughout.

Are all mixtures a solutionare all solution a mixturegive examples?

All solutions are mixtures but not all mixtures are solutions. A solution is a mixture of compounds where molecules of one compound are dissolved in another like salt(the solute) in water(the solvent). Other mixtures might not be solutions though, like sand and gravel, because one does not dissolve in the other

How are solutions and heterogenous alike?

Heterogeneous and Homogeneous mixtures are alike because they are both compounds, and both made up of different elements. The main difference is that Heterogeneous mixtures' components are very obvious, rather then Homogeneous solutions' appear to be one substance.

Are compounds considered mixtures?

Compounds are not mixtures; mixtures are formed from compounds.


Are compounds solutions?

Not all compounds are solutions. Solutions are specific types of mixtures where substances are evenly distributed on a molecular level, while compounds are substances made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. A compound can be in a solution if it is dissolved in a solvent.


Why are all mixtures solutions?

All solutions are mixtures, because they involve mixing anyway. However, all mixtures are not solutions, because according to the definition of solution, the microstructure of the solute (Molecules) must be penetrated and undergo the process called solvolysis. As a result, solution must be homogeneous. Mixtures can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous


Can you provide examples of mixtures and solutions and explain the difference between the two?

Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are physically mixed together but not chemically bonded. Examples of mixtures include trail mix, salad, and sand. Solutions, on the other hand, are mixtures where one substance dissolves in another. Examples of solutions include saltwater, sugar water, and air. The key difference is that solutions have a solute dissolved in a solvent, while mixtures do not have a solute dissolved in a solvent.


Are mixtures solutions?

mixtures are solutions.they are solutions because when the substace of a solid dissolves from a liquid it becomes a solution. Note: solutions are not mixtures.....mixtures are solutions
