Question

Give reason: Soil is a mixture

Answer 1

• A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in any proportion such that they do not undergo any chemical change and retain their individual properties.
• Soil is composed of different broken pieces of rocks, minerals, living organisms, and decaying organic materials.
• In soil, all these components retain their individual properties in the soil and can be separated by physical methods.

Hence, the soil is a mixture.
