●Compounds are three types which are covalent compounds, metallic compounds and ionic compounds.
Note: Compounds can also be classified as organic or inorganic compounds based on the presence of carbon atom.
●Mixtures are mainly of two types i.e. homogenous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures.
●Compounds fall under pure substances.
●Mixtures fall under impure substances.
●Compounds are always homogeneous in nature
●Mixtures can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous in nature.
Compounds
• Made from elements chemically bonded together.
• The properties of a compound are entirely different from its constituents.
• It has fixed melting and boiling point.
• Composition of a compound is fixed. It has definite formula.
♡ Example:- Water
Mixtures
• It consists of two or more elements or compound not chemically combined together.
• It shows properties of it's constituents.
• It doesn't have fixed melting and boiling point.
• Composition of a mixture is variable.
♡ Example:- Air, salt solution.
