Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definitions of the terms: An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom; a compound is a pure substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio.
Recognize that a mixture consists of two or more substances physically combined, not chemically bonded, and can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Identify that a homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, meaning you cannot distinguish the different components by sight.
Identify that a heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition, where the different components are visibly distinguishable.
Since a fruit salad contains different fruits that remain physically separate and can be seen individually, it is best described as a heterogeneous mixture.
