It retains their identities.

Example: if you make a salad, and put lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and spinach in it, what happens when you remove each individual item? You have lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and spinach. Each item still stays the same. Unlike taking water and mixing it will Kool-Aid. You can't take them apart since they've already mixed together.

Why is the mixture of two metals called mixture and not a compound?

Steel is a metal alloy, and hence an a heterogeneous mixture by definition. Steel contains other elements such as carbon and nickel. That being said an alloy can also be considered a substance. Substances can be pure/elemental or chemical mixtures.


True or false a characteristic of rock is that each component minerals retains its properties in the mixture?

False. A characteristic of rock is that the individual minerals lose their distinct properties when combined into a rock. The resulting rock has its own unique physical and chemical properties distinct from those of its constituent minerals.

Does a substance gain or lose energy during evaporation?

During evaporation, a substance gains energy from its surroundings to break the intermolecular bonds and escape as a gas. This results in a cooling effect on the surroundings as energy is absorbed by the substance.


How do you say that sodium chloride is a compound and not a mixture?

Sodium chloride is a compound because it is made up of two elements, sodium and chlorine, chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. In a compound, the constituent elements lose their individual properties and form a new substance with unique characteristics. In contrast, a mixture is a physical combination of substances that retain their individual properties and can be separated by physical means.

Is a compound a physical mixture of a simpler substance?

No, a compound is not a physical mixture; it is a chemical combination of two or more elements that are bonded together in fixed proportions. Unlike a mixture, where the individual components retain their properties and can be separated by physical means, the elements in a compound undergo a chemical change and lose their individual properties. Compounds have distinct characteristics that differ from those of their constituent elements.

Well, honey, an ear of corn is technically a mixture because it's made up of different parts like kernels, husk, and silk. Each part has its own unique properties, so it ain't a pure substance. But hey, don't lose sleep over it, just enjoy that corn on the cob!
