What is a characteristic of a mixture?

Answer 1

Characteristics of a mixture include the constituents of the mixture to not present in a fixed ratio. Other characteristics are that there is no chemical reaction among the constituents and that they retain their original properties.

Answer 2

Mixtures are made of components that are not chemically bonded. They do not have a definite composition. They can be heterozygous or homozygous. In heterozygous mixtures, the individual components are visible and may not be evenly distributed. In a homozygous mixture, which is a solution, the individual components are not distinguishable, and are evenly distributed. Beef stew would be an example of a heterogeneous mixture. Tea would be an example of a homogeneous mixture.

Answer 3

A mixture is anything containing more than two atoms, (or elements) which are together yet not chemically combined. For example: muddy water, the mud will not form a chemical reaction.

Answer 4

Each substance in a mixture retains its chemical properties, so they can be separated through physical things.

Answer 5

A mixture is two or more chemically uncombined compounds, that can be separated by physical means; e.g. heat, light, filtration etc.,
