Here is what i got from my notes, hope this helps.
Mixture components keep their identities.
Mixture components CAN be separated PHYSICALLY
Homogenous Mixture: You CAN NOT the different parts (phases) of the mixture
Heterogeneous Mixture : You CAN SEE the different parts (phases) of the mixture easily
A solution is a HOMOGENOUS MIXTURE of particles so small that they cannot be seen and CANNOT be filtered out
A compound is something that is made from something that can be separated from 2 things.
It is a mixture and has chemical bonds.
