What is an element?
Elements are substances made from one kind of atom
What is a compound?
Compounds are made from 2 or more elements CHEMICALLY COMBINED
What is a mixture?
Elements and compounds are interspersed with each other, but NOT chemically combined
What is a homogeneous mixture?
It has uniform composition and properties throughout
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
