General knowledge
Science: in a mixture the substances keep their own properties and can be separated by physical methods (air, salt water); in a compound they combine chemically to form a new substance (water, H₂O).
विज्ञान में mixture (मिश्रण) में पदार्थ अपने गुण बनाए रखते हैं और भौतिक विधियों से अलग किए जा सकते हैं (हवा, नमक का पानी); compound (यौगिक) में वे रासायनिक रूप से मिलकर नया पदार्थ बनाते हैं (पानी, H₂O)।
A homogeneous mixture is the same throughout; a heterogeneous mixture is not.
समांगी मिश्रण पूरी तरह समान होता है; विषमांगी नहीं।
