The colors of the fruits blend into one.

What happens to the individual molecules of a substance when it is part of a mixture?

They combine to form larger molecules.

They all transform into one type of molecule.

The salt did not chemically react with the water; its molecules are just dispersed.

The salt crystals were destroyed by the water, leaving only their flavor.

A new substance was formed, but it happens to be clear and salty just like the original components.

The water molecules converted the salt molecules into more water.

The components can be separated by physical means.

The components keep their original properties.

A new substance with new properties is formed.

No chemical reaction takes place between the components.

They have melted into a liquid.

They have evaporated with the steam.

They have spread out among the tea's water molecules.

They have chemically broken down into simpler, tasteless atoms.
