The property that describes a mixture from the options given is:
**"It cannot be described by a chemical symbol or formula."**
Mixtures consist of two or more substances that are physically combined, and they do not have a fixed composition like a pure substance. Therefore, they cannot be accurately represented by a single chemical symbol or formula. The other options describe properties of pure substances rather than mixtures.
