How can we separate the components of a compound?

A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate. However, a compound is chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical processes. Therefore, it is much harder to separate a compound than a mixture.

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.
