Is salt water an element compound or mixture? Salt water is a mixture: the individual components (salt, water and minerals) can be easily separated by evaporation. Salt and water themselves are compounds; they are composâ¦ed of the elements sodium and chlorine (salt), and hydrogen and oxygen (water). 10 people found this useful.
They are still a bit like the materials that make them up. For example, sodium chloride (salt) and water are both compounds. They mix together when salt dissolves in water to form salt solution. A solution of salt in water is sometimes called brine. Salt solution is a mixture not a compound. It still has the liquid properties of water and the taste of salt. We can fairly easily separate the salt and water from each other.
