COMPOUNDS
1. Constituents are combined together chemically.
2. Same constituents are present in fixed ratio.
3. Constituents can be separated only by chemical methods.
4. Property of the compound will be different from the property of its constituents.
5. Energy is absorbed or released during the formation of compounds.
MIXTURES
1. Constituents are mixed together physically.
2. Constituents are present in any ratio.
3. Constituents can be separated by physical methods.
4. Property of the mixture will be same as the property of its constituents.
5. Energy is not absorbed or released during the formation of mixtures.
You can make a comparison table from this information.
Mixture
Mixtures are the impure substances, made up of two or more physically mixed substances. They can be homogeneous or heterogeneous by nature.
The substances which are found in the mixtures are not in fixed quantity, that means their ratio varies.
The properties of the mixtures also vary (not fixed) as it depends on the type of substances and the quantity by which these are being mixed.
Compound
Compounds are the pure form, made up of two or more chemically mixed elements. These are generally homogeneous.
But in the case of compounds, the elements are present in fixed quantity, that means their ratio is fixed.
For the particular type of compound, the properties are fixed and do not vary, as the elements present in the compounds are fixed and are in the fixed ratio.
Hope this is helpful to us.
