What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?
(a) They both consist of atoms from different elements.
(b) The way in which their atoms are bonded together.
(c) One is solid and the other is a liquid.
(d) The components of a mixture are not
The correct option for the difference between compound and mixture.
Answer to Problem 2RAT
The correct option for the difference between compound and mixture is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
Mixture is formed when two components are combined together but their properties remain same and the components are not bonded chemically. For example, air is a mixture of different gases, water vapours and dust particles; all the components of air retain their properties.
Compound is formed when
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option is option (d).
