Answer 1

Answer:

mix

Explanation:

Sl. No.

Differentiating Property

Compound

Mixture

1

Definition

Compound are substances which are formed by chemically combining two or more elements.

Mixtures are substances that are formed by physically mixing two or more substances.

2

Types

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.

3

Substance Category

Compounds fall under pure substances.

Mixtures fall under impure substances.

4

Composition Details

The chemical composition of compounds is always fixed.

A mixture can have a variable composition of the substances forming it.

5

Nature

Compounds are always homogeneous in nature

Mixtures can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous in nature.

6

Separation of Constituents

The constituents of a compound can only be separated by either chemical or electrochemical methods(like extraction).

The constituents of a mixture can be easily separated by physical methods (like filtration).

7

Properties

The properties of compounds are peculiar to itself as the constituents of a compound lose their original properties.

The constituents of a mixture does not lose their properties and so, the properties of a mixture are generally the sum of the properties of its constituents.

8

New Substance

A new substance is formed after the constituents are chemically combined. So, a compound has different properties from its constituents.

No new substance is formed in mixtures and its properties depends upon the properties of its constituents.

9

Melting and Boiling Points

The melting and boiling points of a compound is always defined.

The melting and boiling points of a mixture is not defined.

Example

Water, salt, baking soda, etc.

Oil and water, sand and water, smog (smoke + fog), etc.
