Properties of individual substance will remain
unchanged.
Heterogeneous 4. Heterogeneous mixtures may
Mixtures contain 2 or more substances in

a solid, liquid or gas.
 Homogenous mixture
-is a mixture of substances blended
so thoroughly that you cannot see
Other type of individual substances. It has the

Mixture throughout a given sample. It is
uniform in composition throughout.
 Examples

composed of flour, milk, butter, eggs and sugar but, if
