In principle, always "yes", but it is very difficult in some instances, such as separating zirconium and hafnium or any of the inner transition elements in a single Periodic Table period from one another.

How are compounds separated?
Using chemical means. to separate a mixture, you use physical means
Relationship between a mechanical mixture and properties?
A mechanical mixture is a mixture in which the components can be separated by mechanical means. In other words, there is no chemical bonding. The parts keep their own properties and chemical make up.
Is tomato an element compound or mixture?
It is a mixture.
Is oxygen dissolved in water Homogeneous or heterogeneous?
All the elements are homogeneous so the oxygen is homogeneous, too.
Is ice water a compound element or mixture?
Ice is neither heterogeneous or homogeneous. It is actually a compound. Here are the definitions of each: compound - a chemical combination of two or more different elements; can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means and has properties different from those of its component elements (ex. water) heterogeneous mixture - one that does not have a uniform composition throughout and in which the individual substances remain distinct (ex. pizza) homogeneous mixture - one that has a uniform composition throughout and always has a single phase; also called a solution (ex. soda)
A substance that can be separeated by physical means are known as what?
Things that can be separated by physical means are mixtures. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a heterogeneous mixture, you can see the different components that make up the mixture. You can't see the components in a homogeneous mixture. Things that can only be separated by chemical means are compounds.
Is mixture of sand and salt classify as heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Sand+salt: a heterogeneous mixture.
What can be separated by chemical means but not by physical means?
Homogeneous mixtures have the same consistency throughtout therefore, they can only be separated through chemical means.
What determines if a mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous?
A homogeneous substance which has the same composition throughout and which cannot be separated into its constituent components by physical means. It usually has the same physical and chemical properties at all levels above the molecular level.A heterogeneous mixture is one that is not homogeneous.
What mixture would not scatter light?
A homogeneous mixture, homo- means of the same. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that cannot be separated in any way.
What is the difference in separating a compound and a mixture into their component elements?
The components of a mixture can be separated by physical means, such as filtration or distillation. The components of a compound can be separated only by chemical means, meaning a chemical reaction.
A substance that can be separted is a?

Is salt a homogeneous mixture?
Salt water is a homogeneous mixture. Salt, however, is a compound. It has its own properties different from the original elements that created it. It was chemically combined and can only be separated by those means.
Is iron an compound or mixture?
Of course Element. Iron = Fe It cannot be separated by physical or chemical means and hence is an element Mixtures can be separated by physical means and compound by chemical means
Homogeneous portion of a mixture that is characterized by uniform properties and capable of being separated by mechanical means is called a phase?
True
Is sodium chloride a mixture or solution?
Sodium chloride is a compound and not a mixture because it is a pure substance which cannot be separated physically. Mixtures contain components which are not chemically bonded, and thus can typically be separated by nonchemical means. However, all of the atoms in sodium chloride are bonded in a network and can only be separated with chemical methods.
