A forensic scientist discovered a mystery substance when she is out searching for evidence. It has particles that are different sizes, different shapes, and different colors. The particles are unevenly distributed in the substance. What could this substance be?
A) compound
B) element
C) heterogenous mixture
D) homogenous mixture

Respuesta :

the answer should be C.

Answer: The correct answer is -

C) heterogenous mixture.

Heterogenous mixture can be described as a mixture that is non-uniform in its composition.

In other words, its constituent parts are present in different phase and unevenly/non uniformly distributed. By using different means of separation, the constituent parts of the mixture can be easily separated from one another.

In the given question, mixture that is investigated, contains particles, which are of different sizes, shapes, and colors. They are also unevenly distributed in the substance.

Thus, it represents heterogeneous mixture.
