A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically mixed together without undergoing a chemical reaction. Mixtures can be heterogeneous, with each component clearly visible, or homogeneous, where the components are evenly distributed and not visible individually. Mixtures differ from compounds in that their components can be separated by physical means and do not have a fixed composition.
