A mixture is a combination of two or more substances where each retains its individual chemical properties and can be physically separated. Mixtures can be homogeneous, with uniform composition throughout, or heterogeneous, with distinct phases and components.

Mixtures

A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances where each retains its own chemical identity and properties. Mixtures can be homogeneous, with uniform composition throughout, or heterogeneous, with distinct, separate components.

Mixture

Combination of two or more substances

Individual chemical properties

Physically separated

Homogeneous Mixtures

Uniform Composition

A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of two or more substances where the components are not uniformly distributed, resulting in distinct phases or layers. These mixtures can be physically separated into their individual components using various methods due to the visible differences in their composition.
