What is a mixture?

A mixture refers to a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined and can be separated by physical means. In a mixture, the substances involved retain their individual properties and identities.

Mixtures can be separated using physical methods like filtration, distillation, evaporation, chromatography, and magnetism, among others, due to the absence of chemical bonds holding the components together.
