What is It
A mixture is a combination of two or more
substances that are not chemically combined.
The substances are put together but no new
substance is formed. It can be a combination
of solid and solid matter, liquid and another
liquid matter, solid and liquid matter, solid
and gas matter, gas and liquid matter or even
gas and gas matter.
The illustrations below are examples of
mixtures.
 Other examples include a
solution of salt and water,
coffee and water, sand and
gravel, different gases, air and
many more. In any mixture, the
various components do not
combine through any kind of
chemical change. Therefore, the
components do not lose their
individual properties.
Most of the food we eat is a combination of different things and
are examples of mixture. Some of them are the following:

oil and water flour and butter

lemon juice and tea cereal and milk
honey and tea oatmeal and water
milk and chocolate flour and milk
coffee and cream sugar and water
cream and sugar sugar and tea
Beyond the things we eat, our environment is full of other
mixtures. Here are a few more examples:
Smoke and fog (Smog)
Dirt and water (Mud)
Sand, water and gravel (Cement)
Water and salt (Seawater)
Minerals, organic materials, air, water, and living organisms (Soil)

Chlorine, caustic soda, and water (Bleach)

Plasma, white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets (Blood)
