A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically mixed together without undergoing a chemical reaction. Mixtures can combine substances in any proportion and the components do not change chemically. Mixtures can be either heterogeneous, where each component is visibly separate, or homogeneous, where the components are evenly mixed and cannot be visually separated.
