what is crushed ice?
compound
element
heterogeneous mixture
homogeneous mixture
Crushed ice is water in solid form. Water ($H_2O$) is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, so it's not an element. An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom. A compound is a pure substance formed when two or more elements chemically combine. Ice (solid water) is a compound. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, and a heterogeneous mixture has a non - uniform composition. Crushed ice is a single compound (water in solid state), not a mixture.
