Question 5 (1 point) Which substance can be separated by physical means and it is not the same throughout? an element a compound a heterogeneous mixture a homogeneous solution

A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of substances that can be physically separated and has a varying composition throughout. Think of a salad with different vegetables; you can see the distinct elements and pick out the components easily, reflecting its non-uniformity! In contrast, a homogeneous solution maintains a consistent composition throughout, much like saltwater where the salt is evenly distributed. So the key feature here is visible diversity in the ingredients that can be picked apart!
