Mixtures: Made of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
- Illustration: Saltwater can be separated by evaporation.
Compounds: Formed when two or more elements chemically combine.
- Illustration: Water (H₂O) is a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen.

Mixtures: Retain the properties of their individual components.
- Illustration: In a salad, each ingredient retains its flavor.
Compounds: Have different properties than the elements that form them.
- Illustration: Sodium (a metal) and chlorine (a gas) combine to form table salt, which is edible.

Mixtures: Can be separated easily by physical methods.
- Illustration: Sand can be filtered from water.
Compounds: Require chemical reactions to separate into their elements.
- Illustration: Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.

Understanding these differences helps us in chemistry and everyday life.
