What is the main difference between mixtures and compounds?
What is the main difference between mixtures and compounds?
- Mixtures involve chemical bonding, compounds do not involve bonding.
- Mixtures can be separated by physical means, compounds can only be separated by chemical means. (correct)

Study Notes
Mixtures
- A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded and can be separated by physical means.
- Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition).
- Methods for separating mixtures include:
Filtration
- Separates solids from liquids in a heterogeneous mixture
Evaporation
- Separates a dissolved solid from a solution by heating
Distillation
- Separates substances based on their boiling points
Chromatography
- Separates substances based on their movement through a medium
Compounds
- A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together.
- Characteristics of compounds:
- Have fixed compositions
- Properties differ from those of the individual elements
- Can only be separated into their elements by chemical means
Types of Bonds in Compounds
Ionic Bonds
- Formed when atoms give or take electrons to stick together
- Example: Salt (NaCl), where sodium gives an electron to chlorine
Covalent Bonds
- Formed when atoms share electrons to stick together
- Example: Water (H2O), where oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen
Metallic Bonds
- Formed when metals share their electrons with many other atoms, creating a shared pool of electrons
- Example: Copper (Cu), which is bendy and good at carrying electricity
Hydrogen Bonds
- A weak bond formed when a hydrogen atom gets close to a negative part of another molecule
- Example: Water molecules sticking to each other, making water liquid at room temperature
