Mixtures

​Mixture - a substance that includes more than one type of element and/or compound that are not bonded together.

​What is a mixture?

​For example, Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor and other gases.

​Chocolate milk is a mixture because the chocolate and the milk aren't bonded together. In fact, if you wait long enough they will separate on their own.

​

​Because it will separate, it is called a suspension.
