Question

The constituents of a mixture do not retain their identity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Mixture: When two or more substances (elements or compounds or an element and compound) are mixed in any proportion.

• The constituents of a mixture can be separated by physical methods of separation.
• The constituents of a mixture retain their identity as there is no chemical bond formation between them.
• As a result, the properties of a mixture are the properties of the constituents of a mixture.
• Example: A mixture of Sand and Iron $\left(\mathrm{Fe}\right)$ can be separated by the use of a magnet (physical process) where Iron gets attracted to the magnet leaving behind sand.

Hence, the given statement is false.
