I CAN DEFINE THE TERM MIXTURE
A mixture is formed when two or more elements or compounds are present without being chemically bonded together.The substances which have been mixed are not present in specific amounts or ratios like they are in a compound, e.g. two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom in water. They can be in any combination, e.g. for a mixture of sand and water you could have any amount of sand with any amount of water.
In a mixture, the two ingredients can be separated using physical processes, without chemical reactions. This is because they are not chemically bonded together.
Here are some examples:

Here are some examples:
- A mixture of sand and water can be separated using filtration.
- A solution of salt and water can be separated using crystallisation or distillation.
- A mixture of iron filings and sulfur powder can be separated using a magnet.
