Compare a mixture and a compound. How are they alike? Contrast a mixture and a compound. How are they different?

how they are alike: Both compound and mixture are combined in a definite ratio or in any proportion. Both compound and mixture consist of two or more substances/elements. Both compounds and mixtures have physical and chemical properties.

how they are different: The chemical composition of compounds is always fixed. A mixture can have a variable composition of the substances forming it. Mixtures can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous in nature. The constituents of a compound can only be separated by either chemical or electrochemical methods (like extraction).

Explanation:

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
