differnce between a compound and a homogenous mixture?

Answer 1

Homogenous mixture: A mixture of two or more substances that cannot be easily separated by common physical means (ie settling, filtration, etc.). A mixture with no visible separation between its components. For example, salt and water

Compound: a substance composed of two or more elements, such as water (H 2 O),

Answer 2

In a compound you can not distinguish between the ingredients, because they have chemically combed to form a new compound with properties quite different from that of the original substances.

In a homogeneous mixture, though they substances can not be seen as distinguishable, they retain the original properties and have not formed a new compound

Answer 3

componenents in a homogenous mixture may influence each others chemical behaviors slightly, but there is not radical alteration in chemical and physical properties. Compounds are completely different chemically and physically from elements that form them.............example..............mixing 2.0 grams of H2 with 70.9g of CI2 in the dark results in a homogenous mixture of H2 and CI2, mix the gases in the exact same proportion in the light and there is a violent explosion. The gas is now 72.9g of HCI a compound

Answer 4

Compunds are substances composed of two or more elements combined in fixed proportions, eg.H2O, CO2.
Homogenous Mixtures have uniform composition and properties throughout and are known as solutions.

Answer 5

glass is specially produced from silica (SiO2) yet there is the addition of different compounds to furnish it colour so i could say its a blend of compounds , likely a homogeneous blend

Answer 6

I agree with maxine. Thanks
