✔ 最佳答案
Basically, mixture is a blend of two substance physically. You can seperate them by physical means (like evaporation, filteration). And compound is a blend of two substance chemically. You have to use chemical ways to seperate them (radiation)

Mixture
Mixture is a mechanical blending of substance physically. The substance will keep its own identity and chemical properties because they're not blending chemically.
Two Kinds of Mixtures
1. Homogeneous mixtures
2. Heterogeneous mixtures
1) Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures that have a definite composition and properties. You can't really see the substance that are being mix together.
- Solutions: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances (solute) dissolved in another substance (solvent).
Solid to liquid ---> Salt dissovled in water.
Liquid to another ---> water evaported in air
Liquid to solid ---> water to ice
Gas to solid --->
2) Heterogeneous mixtures are the opposite of homogeneous mixtures -- they're mixtures that doesn't have a definite composition. You can see the substances that are being mix easily
- Colloid: A mixture mix with a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture with properties also intermediate between the two.
Examples: milk, chocolate chip cookie, jello, pizza ...
You can seperate mixture using physical means. Filteration, evaporation, distillation, chromatography, solubility or density differences are physical ways to seperate mixtures
-------------------------------------------------
Compound
Compound is a pure substance composed of two or more elements whose composition is constant with a fixed ratio determining the composition.
For example, water is a compound (H2O) and salt is a compound too (NaCl)
You can't seperate compound by physical means. You need to seperate them using chemical means. Like radiation.
