elements and compounds cannot be reduced to simpler substances by physical or mechanical means, but mixtures can


elements and compounds can only be liquids or solids, but mixtures can be solids, liquids or gases


elements and compounds can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, but mixtures can only be heterogeneous

Answer 1

Answer:

elements and compounds can only be liquids or solids, but mixtures can be solids, liquids or gases

Explanation:

Element: A substance that is made up of only one type of atom. Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties.
