What is a Mixture?

- Mixtures are made up of two or more substances that are together but not chemically combined.

-The substances in a mixture keep their own properties, unlike compounds which are chemically bonded

Heterogenous Mixture

- Heterogeneous mixtures have distinct components that can be easily seen and sorted.
- Heterogeneous mixtures can have uneven distribution of components.


Examples: Trail Mix, Salad, Spaghetti and Meatballs

Homogenous Mixtures

- Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform appearance throughout the entire mixture, making it difficult to distinguish their different components.

Examples: saltwater, honey, and soy sauce

- Components in a mixture keep their properties, allowing for separation based on these properties.


- Mixtures with particles of different sizes can be filtered to remove larger particles.

- Mixtures containing magnetic components can be separated using a magnet


- Liquid mixtures can be heated to evaporate some components and leave behind solids.
