Mixture

A substance composed of two or more different types of particles.

Mechanical Mixture

A type of mixture where the different components can be easily distinguished, even with a microscope.

Solution

A type of mixture where the components are evenly distributed and cannot be distinguished visually.

Alloy

A mixture of two or more metals, usually created by melting and mixing them together.

Study Notes

Mixtures

  • Mixtures result when substances combine without chemical changes
  • Mixtures can be mechanical mixtures or solutions
  • A mechanical mixture contains more than one type of particle and the particles are visible
  • A solution contains more than one type of particle, but the particles cannot be distinguished visually
  • Examples of mechanical mixtures include granola bars, breakfast cereal, and air
  • Examples of solutions include clear apple juice, a pane of clear glass, and a pizza
