Question

constituent elements of a compound retain their properties​

Answer 1

Answer:

In any mixture, the constituents retain the properties of their particles. This is because the formation of the mixture does not involve any chemical reaction or formation of the bonds between the constituents and the constituents retain their original properties.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mixtures are heterogeneous forms of matter. Mixtures are composed of variable proportions of molecules and atoms. The relative proportions of the elements in a compound are fixed. The components of a compound do not retain their individual properties.
