= What is a Mixture and How is it Different than a Compound? =

What is a Mixture?
= = A mixture is a mix of two or more different things. Mixtures can be of almost anything. It could be of chemicals mixed together to make something different or just a simple drink with different things. = =

Two Types of Mixtures?
= = One types of mixture is a **homogeneous mixture.** Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures that are evenly distributed. Mixtures can be separated into three types; suspension, colloid or solution. Homogeneous mixtures are colloid or solutions. = = = = An example of a homogeneous mixture is salt water, in salt water you cannot see the salt. = =

Another type of mixture is a **heterogeneous mixture.** Heterogeneous mixtures are made up of different substances that stay separate. Heterogeneous mixtures are usually suspension mixtures. An example of a heterogenous mixture is a glass of iced tea, the ice is made up of different things than the tea.

What is a Compound?
A compound is a substance. Compounds are not mixtures, but compounds are usually used to make mixtures. Compounds are made of two or more elements.

Differences:
Mixtures are of several compounds and compounds are what makes mixtures. **-** Compounds are chemically combined while mixtures are not. **-** Compounds are used to make mixtures. = = **-** Compounds are pure substances, which means salt would not be a compound because it is made of sodium chloride and other things. -
