A mixture cannot be described by a chemical symbol or formula.
<h3>What is a mixture?</h3>
A mixture is a substance that consists of 2 or more chemically different substances.
Examples of mixtures are sand and salt, water and kerosine, oil and water, etc.
Each substance in a mixture maintains its chemical identity. In other words, components of mixtures do not react with each other.
Thus, the components of mixtures can be recovered using relevant separation techniques.
Mixtures can be homogenous when the different components are uniformly distributed. They can also be heterogenous when the components are skewed to a specific side of the mixture.
Due to the fact that the chemical identity of the components of mixtures remains, it becomes impossible to assign a chemical symbol or formula to mixtures.
Therefore, mixtures can only be named according to the different components but cannot be assigned chemical symbols or formulas.
