Give six examples of solid mixture.

1. Alloys - Alloys are mixtures of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal, combined to enhance certain properties like strength, resistance to corrosion, or electrical conductivity. Common examples include steel (iron mixed with carbon), brass (copper mixed with zinc), and bronze (copper mixed with tin).

2. Granite - Granite is a natural rock composed of a mixture of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Each mineral retains its own identity, making granite a solid mixture.

3. Concrete - Concrete is a composite material made from a mixture of cement, aggregates like sand and gravel, and water. When it hardens, it forms a solid mixture that is widely used in construction.

4. Cereal with nuts and dried fruit - A breakfast cereal that contains various components such as flakes, nuts, and dried fruit is considered a solid mixture. Each component remains distinct within the mix.

5. Soil - Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. The solid constituents, which include different types and sizes of mineral particles and decomposed organic matter, form a solid mixture.

6. Chex Mix - Chex Mix is a snack made of a variety of Chex cereal pieces, nuts, pretzels, and other bite-sized snacks. Since it is a blend of different solids that are not chemically bonded, it is considered a solid mixture.
