Take a small amount of mixture of iron and sulphur and roll a bar magnet in it. It is observed that iron filings stick to the magnet and yellow particles of sulphur are left behind. Now repeat the experiment with powdered iron sulphide. It is observed that no iron particles stick to the magnet. Thus, we can conclude that constituents of a mixture can be separated by physical means, but constituents of compound cannot be separated by physical means.

Answer:
Yes, we can conclude that mixtures can be separated by physical means but compounds can be only separated by chemical means.
Explanation:
In case-1:The iron and sulfur atoms are not joined together in the mixture
In case-2: Atoms are joined together in iron sulfide.
As chemical compounds have a unique and defined structure, which consists of a fixed ratio of atoms held together in a defined spatial arrangement by chemical bonds which can be separated through chemical means.
