ICE Princess25 [194]

The right option is; A. Compounds can be separated by physical methods.

Compounds can be separated by physical methods is the statement about compounds that is false.  

A compound is a molecule that is formed from the combination of two or more different chemical elements. The atoms of the different elements that form a compound are held together by chemical bonds (covalent and ionic) that are not easy to break. The component of a compound can only be separated by chemical means and not by physical methods. An example of a compound is water (H2O) which is composed of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms.
