Which of the following is a property of a mixture? It consists of a single element or compound. Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter. It is very difficult to separate the components. The proportion of the particles that make it up cannot be altered.

Constituents retain their identities i.e the physical properties of mixtures are retained.
Their composition is indefinite i.e they consist of two or more elements and/or compounds in any proportion by mass.
They can easily be seperated by physical methods.

There are two types of mixture; homogenous mixtures have their constituents existing in one phase.

Heterogenous mixtures have constituents in different phases. The phases are the different states of matter.

One of the properties of a mixture is that; Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter.

Definition;

A mixture put simply can be defined as an impure substance which is made up of different constituents with each constituent possessing its own unique properties.

Additionally, mixtures are subdivided into homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures;

A homogeneous mixture has it's constituent substances in the same phase/state.

An heterogenous mixture on the other hand, has it's constituent substances in different states of matter.
