pure substance vs mixtures
Pure substance: element compound
Mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous

mixture
contains 2+ pure substances mixed together
homogeneous mixture
looks like a single mixture ex) coffee, wine, air
heterogeneous mixture
a mix of diff. parts that are visible but can’t be mixed or be taken apart ex) pizza, cookies, salad
solutions
