WHAT DOES MIXTURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mixture

In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances on which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids. Mixtures are the one product of a mechanical blending or mixing of chemical substances like elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup. Despite that there are no chemical changes to its constituents, the physical properties of a mixture, such as its melting point, may differ from those of the components. Some mixtures can be separated into their components by physical means. Azeotropes can be considered as a kind of mixture which usually pose considerable difficulties regarding the separation processes required to obtain their constituents.

Definition of mixture in the English dictionary

The first definition of mixture in the dictionary is the act of mixing or state of being mixed. Other definition of mixture is something mixed; a result of mixing. Mixture is also a substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together without any chemical bonding between them.
