6) Difference Between Cement, Mortar, and Concrete

  • Cement → powder only
  • Mortar → cement + sand + water
  • Concrete → cement + sand + stone + water

Cement is a fine gray binding powder used in construction.
When mixed with water, it reacts chemically and becomes hard, which helps bind sand, bricks, stone, and aggregates together. It is one of the most important materials in building work.

In simple words:

Cement = glue of construction
