Mixtures

• A mixture is when two or more substances (elements or compounds) come together but do not combine to make a new substance.

Two types of mixtures.

• Homogenous• Heterogeneous

• A homogenous mixture is a mixture that is the same throughout.

• A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that have larger parts and is different from each others.

• In a homogenous mixture the different parts cannot be seen.

• In a heterogeneous mixture the different parts can be seen.

Homogenous Mixture

• Because the different parts cannot be seen it is sometimes difficult to determine if a mixture is a homogenous mixture.

• An example of a homogenous mixture would be milk, a brass lamp, etc.

Example:

Heterogeneous Mixture

• Because the parts are large and can be seen it is easy to identify a heterogeneous mixture.

• An example of a heterogeneous mixture is a garden salad, a tool box with various tools.

Example:

Two points to remember.

• “Homo” means same. A Homogenous mixture will be the same throughout.

• “Hetero” means different. A Heterogeneous mixture will be different throughout.
