Compound and mixtureCompound Mixture
•Two or more different atoms chemically combined•Has fixed properties e.g. melting and boiling points, chemical reactions, ..•Has a fixed formula e.g. H2O•Can only be separated with a chemical reaction
•Two or more different atoms mixed together and not chemically combined•Has no fixed properties but the properties of those substances that are in it•Has no formula•Can easily be separated as components have not chemically combined
