can mixtures be separated into individual components without changing the identity of substances? | yes |
can compounds be separated into individual components without changing the identity of substances? | no bc it will change what it is originally |

electron | a tiny, negatively-charged particle mass of each particle is 1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom. |
ernest rutherford and his model | Positive charge is localized over a very tiny volume of the atom, which also contains most of the atom's mass |
