Introduction to examples of mixtures:
Mixtures

Mixtures are heterogeneous forms of matter.Mixture contains a combination of two or more elements or compounds mixed together without any chemical bonds.Mixtures can be combined with varying proportions of each substance. It can be separated into individual elements or compounds . Some common examples of the mixtures are soil, air, sea water etc.,There are two types of mixtures. They are

1. Homogeneous Mixture: All the components exist in a single phase and they are uniformly mixed. These mixtures are also called as solution.Potassium sulfide solution is a homogenous mixture.

2. Heterogeneous Mixture: The components exist in more than one phase. They are not uniformly mixed. A mixture of water and oil is heterogeneous in nature. This can also help us on what is a compound?

Properties of Mixtures:

* The composition of a mixture is variable.
* The compounds of a mixture retains its characteristic properties.
* Its components are easily separated
