Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that don't chemically combine. Components retain their identities while forming solutions, suspensions, or colloids. Mixtures can exist in any state of matter and can be separated physically
Homogeneous means "same" or "similar" in origin. Heterogeneous means "different" or "other" in origin. Homogeneous describes uniform parts or elements. Heterogeneous describes different parts or elements
A mixture is formed by combining two or more materials without chemical reaction. Homogeneous mixtures appear uniform regardless of sample location. Heterogeneous mixtures contain particles of different shapes and sizes
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
Elements contain only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down. Elements are represented by unique symbols on periodic table. Elements are divided into metals, nonmetals, and semimetals
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
