What is the difference between a mixture and a compound?

• A mixture is made of elements chemically bonded and compounds are substances that are not bonded and can be separated physically.

• A compound is made of elements chemically bonded and mixtures are substances that are not bonded and can be separated physically.

What is the main difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures?

• A homogenous mixture appears uniformly distributed and you can’t see the individual substances; whereas heterogeneous mixtures you can see each component.

• A heterogeneous mixture appears uniformly distributed and you can’t see the individual substances; whereas homogeneous mixtures you can see each component.

Some liquid medications have “shake well before use” as part of their instructions. What type of mixture are they and why would you need to shake it?

• They are colloids and you need to shake them to evenly disperse the components when you take a dose.

• They are solutions and you need to shake them to evenly disperse the components when you take a dose.

• They are homogeneous and you need to shake them to evenly disperse the components when you take a dose.

• They are suspensions and you need to shake them to evenly disperse the components when you take a dose.

In a solution, which part is the solute: drink mix or water?

• water
