Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of a mixture: A mixture consists of two or more substances physically combined, not chemically bonded.
Recall that in a mixture, each component retains its own chemical properties because no new substances are formed.
Recognize that mixtures can be separated by physical means, such as filtration or distillation, not necessarily by chemical methods.
Note that mixtures can be either homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition), so uniformity is not guaranteed for all mixtures.
Conclude that the key property of every mixture is that the components retain their individual properties.
