1

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

An element is a pure substance which cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. A compound is composed of two or more elements in fixed proportions.

2

What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?

A pure substance is composed of only one type of atom or molecule; a mixture is a substance composed of two or more different types of atoms or molecules.

3

What is the difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous mixture?

A homogeneous mixture has the same composition throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture has different compositions in different regions

4

Pure Substance

Carbon Monoxide

Lead

5

Mixture

White Wine

Lobster Bisque

6

If it is a pure substance, classify it as an element or a compound.

Lead is an element; carbon monoxide is a compound.

7

If it is a mixture, classify it as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

White wine is homogeneous; lobster bisque is heterogeneous.
