My chemical means
How would a mixture be seperated
By physical means
Give 5 qualities of mixtures
Impure substance
No energy absorbed when substances mixed
Physically seperated
Consists of any substance added together
Substances mix in any quantities / proportions
Give 5 qualities of compounds
Pure substance
Energy is absorbed when elements combine to form compounds
Chemically seperated
Consist of elements bounded together chemically
Constituent elements combine in fixed properties
How can sorting be possible
