List two ways in which heterogeneous mixtures differ from elements.

Question

anonymous · Answer

To answer this question, I think you first need to understand the definition of heterogeneous mixtures and elements.
Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures that are mixed together but stay physically separated, or not uniformly spread across.
An element is letters on the periodic table, each has their own proton, electrons...

elements cannot be broken down or get simplified into smaller materials compared to the heterogeneous mixtures. Elements can make up hetero mixtures.
element A+element B=a mixture

elements can be pure, but heterogeneous are made up a compounds, elements... so the only way to break it down into pure elements is physical methods or chemical methods such as combustion, filtration, extraction, sublimation...

Good luck!

1. heterogeneous mixtures contain one or more elements in the mixture.  
    elements *are* one single species - you won't find two different atoms representing one
    element...ever.
2. heterogeneous mixtures can be broken down and separated into its components,
    whereas the element gold, for example, is as basic as you can get; it won't break down
   into anything simpler than a gold atom (an element).
