What to Focus On

  • A mixture contains two or more substances.
  • The components of a mixture retain their properties.
  • Mixtures do not involve chemical reaction between components.

  • Air is a uniform mixture.
  • Air contains nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapour.
  • Nitrogen is about 78% of air.

  • A pure substance has only one kind of particle.
  • A pure substance cannot be separated by physical methods.
  • A pure substance may be an element or a compound.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A mixture and a compound mean the same thing if two substances are joined together.

If a substance looks uniform, it must be a compound.

If a mixture has the same substances in it every time, it is a compound.
