separate mixtures and compounds
Mixtures are separated through physical
methods - hand separation, separation using
magnets, sieving, decanting, filtration and
distillation.
Compounds are formed by

atoms of different elements



When 2 or more different atoms bonded in
a fixed ratio, molecules of compounds form.
