Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a key difference between mixtures and solutions?

• Mixtures can be separated by physical means, while solutions cannot.

• Solutions are always solid, while mixtures are always liquid.

Multiple Choice

What is one key difference between a mixture and a solution?

• A mixture can be separated by physical means, while a solution cannot.

• A mixture is always homogeneous, while a solution is always heterogeneous.

• A solution's components retain their individual properties, while a mixture's do not.

• A solution is physically combined, while a mixture is chemically bonded.
