In chemistry, a mixture is when two or more different substances are mixed together but not combined chemically. The molecules of two or more different substances are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids.

While there are no chemical changes to its constituents the physical properties of a mixture, such as its melting point, may differ from those of the components. Some mixtures can be separated into their components by mechanical means. Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Mixtures are the product of a blending or mixing of chemical substances like elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup.

Mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances the identities of which are retained. Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture the composition of which cannot be identified. A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture the composition of which can easily be identified since there are two or more phases present.

Mixtures and compounds

A compound is not a mixture. A compound has very different properties from the elements it is made of, but a mixture contains several substances which keep their properties. A compound has bonds that are chemically combined.

Dough is a mixture.Chocolate chips can be put in the mixture. Do the chocalate chips become part of the dough?
Q. I think that dough is just a mixture of ingredients that will eventually be kneaded, and ultimately baked. I can't find any specification that says dough must be homogeneous or heterogeneous. When you add the chips, it's just one more ingredient to the heterogeneous mixture. Then you manipulate the dough, like the definition says, and bake it into cookies. I say that chocolate chips become part of a unified chocolate chip dough, while my friend says the chips are absolutely not part of the dough, because they are heterogeneous. Opinions?

A. Yes the chocolate chips become part of the dough and they make the dough so much better to eat. I am not sure about the dough lasting long enough to be baked though.
