  • Mixtures: Definition, Examples, and Properties - Chemistry Explained
    A substance made up of two or more elements not combined chemically is called a mixture.

    Here's why:

    * Elements are the simplest forms of matter and cannot be broken down further by chemical means.

    * Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances where each substance retains its own chemical identity. The components of a mixture can be physically separated.

    Examples of mixtures include:

    * Salt and pepper

    * Sand and water

    * Air (a mixture of gases)

    * Salad
