About Me
- annepasdeloup
- I am Anne, I just turned 28. I have a bachelor in Communication and Psychology, and a masters in Psychology. I graduated a year ago, and worked three years in a psychiatric hospital with people with personality disorders. Since I don't agree with the separation of body and mind in Western Medicine, I always felt I missed something in my work. I came in contact with Eastern Medicine, where there has never been a seperation between those two. I think Eastern medicine and psychology can complement eachother in a way that more patients get better.

Milk is a mixture because it is composed of multiple substances or molecules including sugars, proteins, and fats. You can physically separate these components (by straining the fat out, for example).
Table sugar (sucrose), on the other hand, while it is composed of two different molecules (glucose and fructose), can't be manually broken down. It's a compound; glucose and fructose are bonded together. It would take a chemical reaction to separate them.
Mixtures can be homogenous (air and seawater are examples).
Whether or not a pure substance forms a homogenous mixture depends on what kind of mixture it is. You could mix iron pellets in a bucket of mud and the iron pellets would be pure (and homogenous within themselves), but not homogenous within the mud.
(Thanks for the question. I had to look at the chemistry chapter in my A&P textbook to answer it.)
