The material in form of mixtures.

Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
The material is considered to be mixture if it contains two or more substances in its composition where each substance is to have its own chemical properties.
Explanation of Solution
Mixtures: It is generally defined as the substance that consists of two or more substances in the composition which each substance continue to have its own chemical properties.
Combination of sand and sugar results to form the mixture in which each substance continue to retain its own properties.
The mixture is classified as homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures in which homogeneous contains same type of substance throughout the composition and the heterogeneous is type which contains different components as individual substances.
Examining the composition of any material clearly says that whether it is considered to be mixture or not.
According to the definition of mixture any material is regarded as mixture if it has more than one substance with it in the chemical composition.
Determining a material to be a mixture or not is simple task and it is done by going through the chemical composition of the material. Any substance that has same that is single type of atom or molecules in its composition is considered to be pure. Any substances other than pure are considered to be mixture since they have two or more mixed substances or compounds with it.
Conclusion
The definition for any material to be considered as mixture is defined by using the chemical composition of the material
