Homogeneous
mixtures
have uniform composition throughout.
True
Match the type of mixture with its definition:
Homogeneous ↔️ Components are uniformly distributed
Heterogeneous ↔️ Components are not uniformly distributed
Heterogeneous mixtures have visible variations within the mixture.
True
What is an example of a heterogeneous mixture in food?
Salad
What is the key difference between a mixture and a compound in terms of bonding?
Mixtures have no chemical bonds
How are mixtures formed?
Physically combined substances
Examples of mixtures include air, salad, and salt
water
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically combined but not chemically
bonded
What property makes homogeneous mixtures appear the same everywhere?
Uniform distribution
Trail mix is an example of a heterogeneous mixture because the components are not evenly
dispersed
Physical separation methods require breaking chemical bonds to isolate components.
False
What is a mixture defined as?
Two or more substances physically combined
What is an example of a homogeneous mixture?
Salt water
Describe the uniformity and composition of salt water in a homogeneous mixture.
Uniform, salt dissolved in water
What materials are combined in concrete to form a heterogeneous mixture?
Cement, sand, gravel, water
Mixtures are formed when substances are physically
combined
Chemical bonds are formed during the formation of mixtures.
False
What are the two types of mixtures based on uniformity?
Homogeneous and heterogeneous
Match the type of mixture with its definition:
Homogeneous ↔️ Components are uniformly distributed
Heterogeneous ↔️ Components are not uniformly distributed
Match the homogeneous mixture with its description:
Salt water ↔️ Solution of salt in water
Air ↔️ Mixture of gases
Brass ↔️ Alloy of copper and zinc
Rubbing alcohol ↔️ Solution of isopropyl alcohol and water
What happens to components in a heterogeneous mixture?
Not evenly distributed
Match the mixture with its type and a brief description:
Coffee ↔️ Homogeneous: Dissolved substances blend evenly
Salad ↔️ Heterogeneous: Different vegetables are not evenly distributed
Air ↔️ Homogeneous: Gases mix uniformly
Granite ↔️ Heterogeneous: Contains different minerals visible
Heterogeneous mixtures have components that are not uniformly
distributed
Homogeneous mixtures appear the same
everywhere
In homogeneous mixtures, the components are uniformly distributed, while in heterogeneous mixtures, they are not uniformly
distributed
What is an example of a compound?
Water (H₂O)
Chemical methods are required to separate mixtures into their elements.
False
Why are compounds fundamentally different from mixtures?
Fixed composition
Salad is an example of a heterogeneous
mixture
Concrete is a
heterogeneous
mixture.
True
Order the following physical separation methods based on their primary purpose:
1️⃣ Filtration: Separates solid from liquid
2️⃣ Distillation: Separates liquids with different boiling points
3️⃣ Chromatography: Separates components based on movement rates
4️⃣ Centrifugation: Separates components with different densities
5️⃣ Evaporation: Removes a volatile liquid from a non-volatile solid
What is an example of a heterogeneous mixture?
Concrete
What gases make up air in a homogeneous mixture?
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide
Heterogeneous mixtures have components that lead to visible differences in
composition
and appearance.
True
How can mixtures be separated into their components?
Physical methods
What type of composition do compounds have?
Fixed composition
Homogeneous mixtures have components that are not uniformly distributed.
False
Air is an example of a
homogeneous mixture
.
True
Which gas is the most abundant in air?
Nitrogen
Which physical separation method separates a solid from a liquid by trapping the solid particles?
Filtration
