Explain compound and mixture with a suitable example ​

Answer»

Explanation:

COMPOUNDS are substances made from atoms of different elements joined by chemical bonds. They can only be separated by a chemical reaction. Common examples are water (H2O), salt (sodium chloride, NaCl), METHANE (CH4). The symbols indicate which elements the compounds contain and the number tells you the ratio in which the atoms of the elements combine.

A mixture is made by simply mixing together elements and compounds. No new chemical bonds are formed. Mixtures can be separated using TECHNIQUES such as filtration, CHROMATOGRAPHY, evaporation, magnetisation, flotation and DISTILLATION.
