What to Focus On

  • An element is a pure substance.
  • Elements contain identical atoms.
  • Atoms are the smallest units of elements.

  • A compound is a pure substance.
  • Compounds form by chemical combination in a fixed ratio by mass.
  • The smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.

  • A mixture is an impure substance.
  • Mixtures form without chemical change.
  • Components keep their own properties.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A compound can be separated into its parts by physical methods like handpicking, filtration, or evaporation.

A mixture has a fixed composition like a compound.

A mixture always has new properties different from its components, just like a compound.
