What is the fundamental difference between a mixture of elements and a compound? elements in a compound interact weakly through intermolecular forces in fixed proportions while mixtures of elements can exist in many proportions and are chemically bonded elements in a compound are chemically bonded in any proportion while mixtures of elements exist in fixed proportions and only interact weakly through intermolecular forces elements in a compound are chemically bonded in fixed proportions while mixtures of elements can exist in many proportions and only interact weakly through intermolecular forces elements in a mixture are chemically bonded in fixed proportions while elements in compounds can exist in many proportions and only interact weakly through intermolecular forces
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
