d) a substance that forms when 2 or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio

Solution can be defined as
a) a mixture that forms when substances dissolve and form a homogeneous mixture
b) a mixture that forms when two solids (peas and carrots) are mixed together
c) when two or more elements chemically combine to form a third substance
d) a substance that has the same type of atoms spread evenly throughout the substance.

A homogeneous mixtures occur when
a) the substances in a mixture are easily seen.
b) the substances of the mixture settle at the bottom of a container.
c) the subtances of the mixture contain water.
d) the subtances of the mixture appear to contain one substance throughout the mixture.

What is a mixture?
a) Substance that has combined chemically in a fixed ratio.
b) Substances, such as silver and gold, that are made of the same type or types of elements.
