This document defines and provides examples of elements, compounds, mixtures, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures. An element is made of a single type of atom, while a compound is made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together. A mixture does not form new chemical bonds between its components. Homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform and can be seen as distinct layers or parts. Examples include aluminum foil as an element, salt as a compound of sodium and chlorine, lemonade as a mixture, milk as a homogeneous mixture, and pizza as a heterogeneous mixture.
