A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is easily identified, as there are two or more phases present. Suspensions are examples of heterogeneous mixtures

4. Mixtures can be combined either as solutions, suspensions, or colloids.

5. A pure substance cannot be separated into any other kinds of matter by any physical or chemical process. It is also made up of the same particles.

6. The physical properties of a pure substance include well-defined melting and boiling points

7. Some examples of pure substances include gold, tin, water, diamonds, oxygen, nitrogen basically anything that is just one substance, not mixed together with anything else.

8. A single element is an example of a pure substance because it cannot be broken down into simpler substance.
