The components of a mixture are not chemically combined and do not have a definite composition. A pure substance is either an element or a compound (in which case it is composed of elements that are chemically combined) and has a definite composition.

Do components in mixtures maintain their own characteristics?

Yes, in a mixture, components maintain their own characteristics and can be separated by physical means. Unlike in a chemical compound where the elements are chemically bonded and lose their individual properties, components in a mixture retain their own properties.

What are the 4 characteristics of true mixtures?

Mixtures are a physical combination of two or more substances. Mixtures can be separated by physical means such as filtration, distillation, or evaporation. The components of a mixture retain their individual properties and do not chemically bond. Mixtures can have variable composition, meaning the ratio of components can vary.

Is a system that contains two or more substances is necessarily heterogeneous?

No. Many mixtures of two or more subtances are homogeneous. Homogeneous just means that the mixture is uniform throughout. Salt, sugar, and many other substances dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixtures. Air is also classified as a homogeneous mixtue (made up of different gases that are uniformly distributed).
