A mixture consists of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means. Unlike compounds, mixtures maintain their individual chemical properties. Mixtures can be separated using mechanical methods like filtration and distillation. No chemical bonding occurs between the substances in a mixture
Most substances are mixtures of two or more components. Separation techniques are used to remove unwanted materials
A mixture is a physical blend of two or more substances that maintain their identities. Components maintain their original properties and can be easily separated. The proportions of components vary in an indefinite manner
Matter exists in three states: solids, liquids, and gases. Particle arrangement determines state: solids have strong forces, liquids moderate, gases negligible. New states: plasma (electrons and ions) and Bose-Einstein condensate (atoms in single quantum state)
