- Mixture:

Is a material made up of two or more different Chemical substance/substances which are not chemically combined.

- Heterogeneous:

Generally means consisting of different, distinguishable parts or elements.

- Valence Electrons:

Are the electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom.

- Covalent atoms:

A covalent bond forms when two non-metal atoms share a pair of electrons.

- Ionic atoms:

Is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.
