Is scrambled eggs a mixture or compound?

Scrambled eggs are a mixture. Here's why:

* Mixture: A combination of two or more substances where each substance retains its own properties.

* Compound: A substance formed when two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio.

When you scramble eggs, you are physically combining the egg whites and yolks, but you aren't changing the chemical composition of the egg proteins. The egg proteins are simply being rearranged. You can still separate the egg whites and yolks after scrambling, which is another indicator that it's a mixture.
