Describe the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures. Into which of these categories does a solution fall? Explain.​

Answered by maham237 @



An element is either just one atom or a combination of the same atom. If they have the same amount of protons, they are the same element.

A compound is a thing that is composed of two or more different atoms.

A mixture is the material that is made out of two or more different elements/compounds (normally mixed together hence the name).

A solution is the outcome of the mixture, therefore a solution falls into the category of a mixture
