∙ 11y agoA mixture contains 2 or more chemicals that are not chemically combined, meaning they can be physically separated. Examples include saltwater and air.
The components of a mixture are not chemically combined and do not have a definite composition. A pure substance is either an element or a compound (in which case it is composed of elements that are chemically combined) and has a definite composition.
A compound consists of at least two elements chemically bonded together.
Yes, a mixture contains different molecules of substances that are combined physically but do not chemically bond with each other. These molecules retain their individual properties within the mixture.
Steel pipe is a compound because it is made up of a single type of substance (steel) that is chemically bonded together. It is not a mixture because it does not contain different types of substances that are physically combined.
Not directly. It can be a physical hazard. The only connection to chemical hazards is that dangerous chemicals might be stored in glass containers, and released by breakage. Laboratory containers may contain many dangerous chemicals, and individual chemicals that are dangerous if combined.
The components of a mixture are not chemically combined and do not have a definite composition. A pure substance is either an element or a compound (in which case it is composed of elements that are chemically combined) and has a definite composition.
Yes, chemically defined media can contain yeast extract as a source of essential nutrients and growth factors for microorganisms. However, the use of yeast extract in chemically defined media can add complexity and variability due to the undefined nature of the extract.
A compound consists of at least two elements chemically bonded together.
Animals such as fireflies contain two chemicals, luciferin and luficerase. When combined with oxygen, they give off light.
Yes, a mixture contains different molecules of substances that are combined physically but do not chemically bond with each other. These molecules retain their individual properties within the mixture.
Earth is a mixture because it contain many different substance that are not chemically bonded together and so remain chemically and even visibly distinct from one another.
Alloys contain two or more solids, usually metals, that are mixed together evenly bu are not chemically bonded.
Steel pipe is a compound because it is made up of a single type of substance (steel) that is chemically bonded together. It is not a mixture because it does not contain different types of substances that are physically combined.
Not directly. It can be a physical hazard. The only connection to chemical hazards is that dangerous chemicals might be stored in glass containers, and released by breakage. Laboratory containers may contain many dangerous chemicals, and individual chemicals that are dangerous if combined.
The difference is that.. Mixture is when two or more different substances are mixed together but not combined chemically forming a varying mix of substances. Compound is when two or more substances are chemically bonded together forming a single substance.
Yes, a mixture may consist of elements and compounds. A mixture is formed when two or more substances are physically combined without forming a new substance, so it can contain elements and compounds in various proportions.
An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together. Therefore, an element cannot contain a compound within its structure.
