Mixture

|
Definition
|
A compound is the substances that are formed by combining two are more chemical elements.
|
A mixture is a substance created from two or more matter that can be separate with the help of physical methods.
|
|
Nature
|
Compound substances are always homogeneous in nature.
|
Nature of Mixture substances can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
|
|
Examples
|
Water (H₂O), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), salt, sugar, and baking soda are some of the examples of compound substance.
|
A mixture of oil and water, sand and soil, sulphur and iron filings, smoke and fog (smog) etc are some examples.
|
|
Types
|
Compounds are of three types i.e. covalent compounds, a metallic compound, and ionic compounds. Moreover, compounds can also be classified as organic or inorganic compounds based on the presence of the carbon atom.
|
There are two main types of mixture i.e. homogeneous and heterogeneous.
|
|
Substance category
|
Mainly pure water is part of the compound.
|
Mixtures fall under impure water.
|
|
Separation of constitution
|
The only methods that can be separate constituents of compounds are chemical and electrochemical (like extraction).
|
The constituents of a mixture can easily be separated by physical (like filtration) method.
|
|
Composition
|
The ratio of the elements in compounds is always fixed. They contain only one type of molecule. Also, the elements chemically combined.
|
Whereas, a mixture can have a variable composition of substance in forming but the ratio is not fixed nor they are combined via chemical bonds.
|
|
Representation
|
A compound is represented using its chemical formula.
|
A mixture cannot be represented by using formula.
|
|
Properties
|
In a compound, the properties are peculiar to itself as the constituents of a compound lose their original properties
|
The constituents of a mixture do not lose their property. So, the mixture properties are generally a sum of the properties of its constituents.
|
|
New substance
|
When two or more constituents are chemically combined, they together formed a new substance.
|
No new substance is formed in mixtures and its properties depend upon the properties of its constituents.
|
|
Melting and boiling point
|
The melting and boiling point of a compound is defined.
|
No melting and boiling point is defined in a mixture.
|
|
Mass ratio
|
A compound is depending upon specific ratio.
|
Mixtures have a variable mass ratio depending upon the number of ingredients.
