Question

The constituents of a mixture retain their properties.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Step 1 Understanding the concept: A mixture is a material composed of two or more different types of components. They can be separated through physical means. Examples are salt and water solution, a sugar and water mixture, different gases, air, and so on.
  
• CHARACTERISTICS
  Physical processes such as evaporation, boiling, and others can separate the constituents of a mixture.
  A mixture is formed without the need for any chemical processes.
  The properties of the mixture's components are retained.

• Step 2 Explanation: The constituents of any mixture retain their properties. This is due to the fact that the formation of a mixture does not need any chemical reactions or the formation of bonds between constituents, and the constituents retain their original properties. For example, all the constituents of air retain their properties, Oxygen helps in burning, carbon dioxide helps in extinguishing a burning substance, nitrogen controls a fire, etc.
• Thus the constituents of a mixture retain their properties is a true statement.
