Question

Mixtures can also be non-uniform (called ________________________).
● Mixtures can be separated into their components by chemical or physical means.
● The properties of a mixture are similar to the properties of its components.

Answer 1

Mixtures can also be non-uniform (called heterogeneous).

A heterogeneous mixture has components that are not evenly distributed — e.g., salad, soil, granite, or a suspension — and its parts can usually be separated by physical means (filtration, decanting, sorting).
