Question

Explanation:

A mixture consists of two or more substances that are physically combined. Since they retain their individual properties, physical methods like filtration, distillation, or evaporation can be used to separate them. Elements (like oxygen) and compounds (like water, \(H_2O\)) have uniform compositions at the atomic/molecular level. An atom is the basic unit of an element and can't be separated by physical means.
