Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the classification of matter: Matter can be classified into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances include elements and compounds, while mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Define a compound: A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio. Compounds have distinct properties and can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
Define a mixture: A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. Mixtures can be separated by physical means and are classified as either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures: A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, such as a solution, while a heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition, such as a salad.
Identify the odd one out: Since compounds are pure substances and not mixtures, they do not fit into the classification of mixtures, which includes only homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
