a mixture is a material made up of two or more different Chemical substance/substances which are not chemically combined, a solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility, and a pure substance is a substance that has a fixed chemical composition
