Is a mixture made of two or more materials that cannot be separated by any means?

No. If the mixture cannot be separated by any means then it has become a new compound and is no longer two materials.If it can be separated by distillation, or one of the materials can be made to precipitate out by a temperature change then it is a solution.If it can be made to separate by a centrifuge it is a suspension.If it will separate by itself with the passage of time, it is just a mixture.---A mixture consists of two or more substances (elements, compounds) that are not combined chemically, so may be separated from each other by any of several physical processes.


How can you distinguish a compound from a mixture?

In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed whole number ratio and definite structure. In a mixture the components are not chemically bonded together, the ratio is variable, and there is usually not a fixed structure.
