Can a compound be seperated into its consistent elements by physical methods?

Yes it can. Water, table salt, and sugar are all examples of compounds and can all be decomposed into simpler substances through physical means.^^ I believed that water and table salt would be a mixture, mixtures are the
non-chemical means not compounds, with compounds there is a chemical change.

What is true about a compound physical properties compare to those of the element it is made of?
The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.
A substance which cannot be seperated by ordinary chemical or physical method is an?
It is an element. Elements are composed of atoms, and atoms of elements combine chemically to form compounds.
Is the sharing of electrons by elements to form compound is that a physical properties or chemical property?
chemical
Is the elements ability to form a compound with chlorine a physical property?
No, it is a true chemical property !
How is a homogeneous mixture different from a homogeneous compound?
In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. In a homogeneous mixture the components are not chemically bonded together and the ratio can vary.In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.In a homogeneous mixture the components are not chemically bonded together and the ratio can be varied.
Two or more elements that chemically bonds can be separated by what process?
It can be seperated by physical process
Why water is regarded as a compound although it can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen by passing an electric current?
The property of copounds is that they can be seperated only by hemical means and not by physical means. Water is a compound since it cannot be seperated by physical means. Seperation into hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical mean.
What cannot be seperated by physical means?
Elements
What is true about a compound physical properties compare to those of the element it is made of?
The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.
What statement can be made when compairing the chemical and physical properties between a compound and the elements from which it is formed?
The chemical and physical properties of a compound are different than those of the elements from which it is formed.
When two or more elements chemically combine?
If two elements are chemically combined, they become a compound which will have totally different chemical and physical characteristics than either of the two original elements.
Does a compound is a physical mixture of different elements?
No, but compound is rather chemical combination of two more element
A substance which cannot be seperated by ordinary chemical or physical method is an?

What are some properties of mixture?
Made of elements compounds, or both No change in oringinal properties of components Seperated by physical means Formed using any ratio of components
