Term: Heterogeneous Mixture

Definition: A heterogeneous mixture refers to a combination of two or more different substances that are unevenly distributed throughout the mixture. In such mixtures, the components retain their individual properties and can be visibly distinguished.

Examples:

1. The classic example of a heterogeneous mixture is the combination of oil and water, where the oil floats on top of the water due to their difference in density.
2. A fruit salad is another example of a heterogeneous mixture as it contains various fruits with different textures, colors, and flavors.
3. In geological terms, sand mixed with pebbles forms a heterogeneous mixture as the two components are easily distinguishable.
