      • When two or more substances are mixed together, the result is called a mixture. Mixtures can be classified into two main categories: homogeneous and heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is one in which the composition of its constituents are uniformly mixed throughout.

  2. Mixtures can be classified on the basis of particle size into three different types: solutions, suspensions, and colloids. The components of a mixture retain their own physical properties. These properties can be used to separate the components by filtering, boiling, or other physical processes.

  3. Summary. Matter can be classified into two broad categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition and properties that are constant throughout the sample. Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more elements and/or compounds.

    Two broad categories of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform throughout the composition (e.g. gravel), while homogeneous mixtures have the same phase and composition, no matter where you sample them (e.g., air). The distinction between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures is a matter of magni...

    Just because you mix two chemicals together, don't expect you'll always get a mixture! If a chemical reaction occurs, the identity of a reactant changes. This is not a mixture. Combining vinegar and baking soda results in a reaction to produce carbon dioxide and water. So, you don't have a mixture. Combining an acid and a base also does not produce...

  4. Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Elements and compounds are both examples of pure substances. Compounds are substances that are made up of more than one type of atom.

    How can mixtures be. A salad bar, like the one in Figure 2.5, provides a range of items, such as let-tuce, tomatoes, cheese, and green peppers. Customers choose which items. How can mixtures be separated. ? Vocabulary.

  7. Learning Objectives. Use physical and chemical properties, including phase, to describe matter. Identify a sample of matter as an element, a compound, or a mixture. Part of understanding matter is being able to describe it. One way chemists describe matter is to assign different kinds of properties to different categories.
