-
C.
Option D (Formation) is correct
-
D.
Option A (Separation) is correct
Correct Answer:
D. Option A (Separation) is correct
Explanation:
Mixtures and compounds differ fundamentally in how their components are combined and separated. A mixture consists of substances that are physically blended together without any chemical bonding, allowing them to be separated using physical methods like filtration or evaporation. In contrast, a compound is formed through a chemical reaction where different elements bond together in a fixed ratio, creating a new substance with unique properties that can only be broken down through chemical means. While components in a mixture retain their individual characteristics, the elements in a compound lose their original properties to form a substance with entirely different chemical and physical behaviors.
