In a mixture, there will be a solute and solvent. The hydrogen and oxygen are still two different atoms that just mixed together. But in a compound, the hydrogen and oxygen have a bond, making a new and bigger molecule. A mixture can easily be separated by physical means but a compound isn't.
Answer:
Conductors have magnetic fields; insulators do not have magnetic fields. Conductors do not have magnetic fields; insulators do have magnetic fields. ... In a conductor, electric current cannot flow freely; in an insulator, it can flow freely.
No. You cannot rule out the battery even after the open circuit voltage measurement. The open-circuit voltage may not have changed but the battery's internal resistance may have greatly increased.
