1) Compounds:
a) Chemically combined.
b) Components change properties.
c) Fixed proportions.
2) Mixtures:
a) Physically combined.
b) Components retain properties.
c) Variable proportions.
3) Both:
a) Made of elements.
b) 2 or more components.
A compound is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means. For example water (Hâ‚‚O) is a chemical compound made of two elements (hydrogen and oxygen).
In chemical change new substances are formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change. Â
There are no chemical bonds between substances in the mixture.,For example, mixture is solution of water and alcohol.
