Which of the following best describes a mixture in which the components remain distinct?
A
A compound
B
A heterogeneous mixture
C
A pure substance
D
A homogeneous mixture
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definitions of the terms involved: A compound is a pure substance formed when two or more elements chemically combine in fixed proportions.
A pure substance has a uniform and definite composition, which can be either an element or a compound.
A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, meaning the different components are not visibly distinct.
A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more substances that remain physically separate and can be visibly distinguished.
Since the question asks for a mixture where components remain distinct, the best description is a heterogeneous mixture.
