| 1. A mixture can be separated into its constituents by the physical processes (Like filtration, evaporation etc.) sublimation, distillation, solvents, magnet, etc.). | 1. A compound cannot be separated into its constituents by physical processes (It can only be separated into its constituents by chemical processes). |
| 2. A mixture shows the properties of its constituents. | 2. The properties of a compound are entirely different from those of its constituents. |
| 3. Energy (in the form of heat, light, etc.) is usually neither given out nor absorbed in the preparation of a mixture | 3.Energy (in the form of heat, light, etc.) is usually given out or absorbed during the preparation of a compound. |
| 4. The composition of a mixture is variable, the constituents can be present in any proportion by mass. A mixture does not have definite formula. | 4. The composition compound of a compound is fixed, the constituents are present in fixed proportion by mass. |
| 5. A mixture does not have a fixed melting point, boiling point. | 5. A compound has a fixed melting point, boiling point. |
