Question
Tabulate a comparative chart – to differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures. Differentiate them with reference to existence
Solution
Existence
Elements –Elements i.e. atoms are present on their own. e.g. Iron and sulphur exist on their own as elements iron and sulphur.
Compounds – Components in a compound present in a definite proportion. e.g. Iron and sulphur are chemically combined in a fixed ratio in iron sulphide
Mixtures –Components in a mixture present in any proportion. e.g. Iron and sulphur are mixed in any ratio in the mixture of iron and sulphur.
