Solution

Answer 1

Here's a breakdown of the terms and their corresponding descriptions:

1. **Pure substance**: A material that has a constant composition and properties, consisting of only one type of particle. It can be either an element or a compound.

2. **Heterogeneous**: A mixture in which the components are not uniformly distributed and can often be distinguished from one another. For example, a salad or a mixture of sand and salt.

3. **Homogeneous**: A mixture that has a uniform composition throughout, where the individual components are indistinguishable. An example is saltwater or air.

4. **Solution**: A specific type of homogeneous mixture where one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent), such as sugar in water.

You can match them as follows:

- **Pure substance**: A material that has a constant composition.
- **Heterogeneous**: Mixture with non-uniform distribution of components.
- **Homogeneous**: Mixture with uniform composition throughout.
- **Solution**: A homogeneous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another.
