Answer:
properties
Explanation:
The properties of matter are the various ways in which matter behaves under certain circumstances.
Various substances have different volumes and shapes. These differences account for the various properties of matter.
This sounds good so far.
May want to check how you say "and are spread way out" - a better way to say it would be "the crystals are spread out"
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A solution whose constituent particles are uniformly distributed in the solution is known as a homogeneous solution.
In a homogeneous solution, particles of one solute completely dissolves in the solvent. This solution is also known a true solution.
When sand and water are mixed together then after a certain interval of time sand particles will settle at the bottom. Therefore, they do not dissolve in water. So, it is not a homogeneous solution.
When salt and water are mixed together then the salt particles will dissolve in water. Therefore, it is a homogeneous solution.
Salad dressing is not a homogeneous solution as it contains different solutions like oil, lemon juice etc which does not dissolve when mixed together.
On the other hand, soil is also not a homogeneous solution because we can visualize the distinct layers present in a soil. These layers when mixed in a solution does not dissolve so they did not form a homogeneous solution.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, salt and water is a homogeneous mixture.
