CHEMISTRY: MIXTURES AND PURE
SUBSTANCES
COMPOUND:
Two or more atoms chemically combined, at least one is different.
Ex: N2 N3 H2O
*CHEMISTRY: MIXTURES AND PURE
SUBSTANCES
Ex: N2 N3
Ex: H2O
*Example: When I mix sugar and water, I get the mixture sugar-water. The sugar still
has its own identity (it is sweet), the water still has its own identity (its still water).
Nothing new is created, and both can be separated physically (boiling).
