Untitled LessonMixtures and Solutions

Mixtures can be separated by physical means, while solutions cannot.

Solutions are always solid, while mixtures are always liquid.

Mixtures are chemically bonded, while solutions are not.

Solutions retain the individual properties of their components, while mixtures do not.

A mixture can be separated by physical means, while a solution cannot.

A mixture is always homogeneous, while a solution is always heterogeneous.

A solution's components retain their individual properties, while a mixture's do not.

A solution is physically combined, while a mixture is chemically bonded.
