Explanation:

• A completely uniform mixture is defined as homogeneous.
• A molecule forms when electrons are shared between atoms.
• An element is the simplest type of pure substance.
• A heterogeneous mixture has physically separate components.
• A compound consists of multiple chemically combined elements.
• An ion is a charged particle from electron transfer between metals and nonmetals.

Answer:

• Mixture that is completely uniform: Homogeneous
• Individual unit formed from the sharing of electrons: Molecule
• Simplest type of substance: Element
• Mixture made of physically separate substances: Heterogeneous
• Substance composed of more than one chemically combined element: Compound
• Charged particle forming when atoms of metal elements transfer electrons to atoms of nonmetal elements: Ion
