Matters are everywhere.

There are three types of matter according to the shape; solid, liquid, and gas.

But hey, there is also another classification of matter!

You can categorize matter into ELEMENT, COMPOUND, OR MIXTURE.

Down below are examples of elements, compounds, and mixtures.

Read along!

Examples of Mixtures

Mixtures can be categorized into homogeneus mixture and heterogeneus mixture.

A homogeneus mixture is a mixture that is combined very well and most of the time look physically uniform.

  20. Ketchup
  21. Lemonade
  22. Wood
  23. Cement
  24. Glue
  25. Fruit juice (Without pulps)
  26. Tea

  28. Soda water
  29. Vinegar

Examples of Heterogeneous Mixture

  1. A bowl of cereal and milk
  2. A glass of water with ice cubes
