⭕An alloy is a chemical mixture of 2 or more elements mixed in a definite ratio.
⭕An alloy has completely different properties compared to its constituents.
⭕A mixture is a physical mixture of 2 or more elements, a mixture can have a definite ratio but its not necessary.

An alloy can be made by mixing one metal with another, several metals together or mixing non-metallic elements with a metal(s). It is defined as a solid solution. This mixing is generally done at very high temperatures where the elements and metals are melted, mixed, and left to cool. The mixed elements have not combined chemically into a separate compound. The alloy has physical properties intermediate between those of the constituent metals; but the chemical properties of each element remain unaffected. An alloy can be separated by physical means (separated by melting).
A compound is an association of several elements bound together by chemical bonds. Ideally there should be two or more elements to form a compound. It is not possible to obtain a compound by just mixing few elements together, but they are only achievable through specific chemical reactions. Therefore, it is also possible to obtain individual elements by breaking down a compound through other chemical reactions, as well. Compounds depending on their nature can be identified under different categories; molecules (elements bound together by covalent bonds), salts (elements bound together by ionic bonds), complexes (elements bound together by coordination bonds) etc. In some cases, many elements of the same type join together to form bonds, and they are known as polyatomic molecules. If two elements of the same type forms a compound, it is called a diatomic molecule.
