Question

what is a key characteristic of a homogeneous mixture? choose 1 answer: a the components form layers or clumps that can be easily seen. b the components are evenly mixed, and the mixture looks the same throughout. c the components lose their original properties and create a new substance.

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition. Option A describes a heterogeneous mixture (components form visible layers/clumps). Option C describes a chemical reaction (forming a new substance), not a mixture. So B correctly states the key characteristic of a homogeneous mixture.

Answer:

B. The components are evenly mixed, and the mixture looks the same throughout.
