What are the similarities of mixtures and compounds?

Mixtures and compounds are both combinations of two or more substances. Mixtures can be easily separated into their component substances by physical means, such as filtration or distillation, while compounds can only be separated by chemical means, such as electrolysis or combustion. Here are some of the similarities between mixtures and compounds:

- Both mixtures and compounds have definite compositions.

- Both mixtures and compounds have properties that are different from their individual components.

- Both mixtures and compounds can be either solids, liquids, or gases.

- Both mixtures and compounds can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

- Both mixtures and compounds can be either natural or synthetic.
