DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN :- (a) COMPOUNDS AND MIXTURE (b) HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS (c) SUSPENSIONS AND SOLUTIONS

Solution:

(a) Difference between compounds and mixture.
 
Mixture Compound
It is obtained by the physical combination of either element, compounds, or both. It is obtained by the chemical combination of more than one element.
The composition of elements present in a mixture is not fixed. The composition of elements present in a compound is fixed.
It shows the properties of all its constituents. It may or may not show the properties of its constituent elements.
Its constituents can be separated using physical methods. Its constituents can be separated by using only chemical and electrochemical methods

(b) Difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture.
 
Homogeneous mixture Heterogeneous mixture
A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout its mass.  A heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition.
 A homogeneous mixture does not contain physically distinct parts.  A heterogeneous mixture contains physically distinct parts.
Homogeneous mixtures form solutions. Heterogeneous mixtures form colloids or suspensions.
Example: A mixture of alcohol and water is homogeneous. Example: A mixture of sodium chloride and sand is heterogeneous.

(c) Difference between suspensions and solutions mixture.
 
Suspensions Solutions
A suspension has bigger particle sizes and so it may look cloudy or murky. A solution is a mixture of ions or molecules (very, very small). Solutions are transparent, meaning that you can see through them.
They are heterogeneous mixtures. They are homogeneous mixtures.
Example: Chalk powder (stirred in water or solvent - water), Example: Soda powder (stirred in water or solvent - water)
