5 difference between element and mixture
Answers
(1) Elements are the simplest form of a pure substance i.e made up of the same atoms, whereas mixture is a mix of different elements.
(2) Elements can not be broken into anything else by any physical or chemical means, whereas mixtures are not chemically combined and can be separated by chemical means.
(3) The atom or atoms of an element (they also have fixed atomic mass) are in fixed ratio, whereas substances in a mixture can be added in any ratio.
(4)An element has its fixed properties, whereas the different substances in a mixture show their different properties.
(5)Examples of element are hydrogen, oxygen, etc and examples of mixture are mixture of sand and salt, mixture of iron fillings and sulfur, etc.
Answer:
Elements are the purest form of a chemical substance and are composed of only one type of atom. In other words, all of the atoms in an element will have the same number of protons. Please note that a chemical composed of two or more of the same type of element (H2 ,O2, etc.) are also considered elemental forms as well.
A mixture is a combination of two or more different chemical compounds or elemental substances. It is not a pure substance, but a combination of multiple particles. It can be separated into different type of particles. There are two types of mixture, Homogeneous and Heterogeneous.
In heterogeneous mixtures, you can see the two different types of substances with your eyes. In homogeneous mixture, you cannot see the two different substance ( they appear as a single phase to the eyes).
I hope you got your answer…
