Reasons why eutectic mixtures are not compound

Reasons why eutectic mixtures are not compound

1. their composition varies with pressure
2. can be separated by other physical methods as distillation and evaporation to dryness
3. X-ray analysis shows that eutectic mixtures are not pure compound
4. Microscopic analysis shows that eutectic mixtures are heterogeneous, made of a mixture crystals of separate substances
5. Chemical properties of eutectic mixtures are those of individual components making up the mixture for example when solder is reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid, tin reacts whereas lead does not.
