Answer and Explanation:

  • Pure substances are basically chemical substances with distinct composition and properties that are constant. They may consist of one atom, molecule or compound that cannot be easily separated by physical separation technique. <em>Examples of pure substances are iron, water, gold etc. </em>
  • Mixtures are made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined together, in which each substance that make up the mixture still retains their chemical identity, and can separated by physical method. <em>Examples of mixtures are brass made up of different metals, salt water, milk etc. </em>
  • Elements are pure chemical substances that are made up of a single type of atom which cannot be easily broken down. <em>For example, hydrogen, oxygen, iron. </em>
  • Compounds are made up of two more different elements that are chemically bonded together by chemical bonds. <em>Examples include NaCl or salt, which is made up of Na and Cl; Water which is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen </em>
  • Homogenous mixture contains substances of uniform composition, <em>e.g, air which consists of mixture of gases; a mixture of salt and water; milk etc. </em> Heterogenous mixture, on the other hand contains substances whose distribution are not uniform, i.e. non-uniform. <em>Examples are a mixture of sand and water; water and oil etc. </em>
  • Physical change is a type of change that involves the change of form of a matter without the chemical properties being altered. This is a reversible change. On the other hand, a chemical change is an irreversible change in which the chemical properties of a matter are changed.
  • <em>Examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting an ice cube, melting of wax etc.  </em>
  • <em>Examples of chemical change are burning of wood, rusting of iron etc</em>.

Where did the symbols for the democratic and republican parties come from?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Jackson, a hero of the War of 1812 who later served in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, was amused by being called a jacka** from his opponents, and included an image of the animal in his campaign posters. He later went on to defeat incumbent John Quincy Adams, and serve as America’s first Democratic president. In the 1870s, influential political cartoonist Thomas Nast helped popularize the donkey as a symbol for the Democratic Party. For the republican party, it was formed in 1854 and six years later Abraham Lincoln became its first member elected to the White House. An image of an elephant was featured as a Republican symbol in at least one political cartoon and a newspaper illustration during the Civil War.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!
