Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Mixtures and compounds are composed of matter. At basic level, both of these are made of two or more elements. This is the only similarity between the two.

Compounds are composed of two or more elements chemically combined together in fixed proportion. A compound does not have properties same as the elements of which it is composed of. Mixtures are composed of elements physically combined together. A mixture retains the properties of the elements, it is composed of.
