The evidence that exists that marker ink is a mixture is that the ink can be separated into black and other color pigments. This can be done on filter paper by dotting the marker just above the edge and adding ethyl alcohol, which drags the pigments separately across the paper.
It is a mixture containing melanin.
Ink is a mixture.
It is a mixture, because everything in it retains their characteristic properties.
Mixture. A compound is a single substance consisting of atoms bound together (for a very simple definition): water (H2O), Ammonia, etc. A mixture is a combination of coumpounds/elements that are physically, not chemicall combined. When you dissolve sugar in water, you have a sugar-water mixture, not a compound since you do not obtain a single substance "sugar-water" with a unique chemical formula.
Ink is a mixture composed of pigments, solvents, and additives. The pigments give the ink its color, the solvents dissolve the pigments and control the ink's viscosity, and additives can provide various properties like drying time or water resistance.
it is a compound as it is more than one element and it is still chemicaly joined
Paper is a heterogeneous mixture because it is made up of different materials (such as cellulose fibers and various fillers) that are not chemically bonded together. It is not a solution, compound, or element.
It is a hunk of cheese.
