For chemistry, a mixture is a product formed by molecules of different types.
A mixture is a matter made up of various molecules . Matters made up of molecules that are all the same, however, are called chemically pure substances or chemical compounds .
Mixtures, therefore, are made up of several substances that do not maintain chemical interactions. The properties of the various components may even be different from each other. It is common for each of them to be isolated through some mechanical method.
Emergence of a mixture
It could be said, in short, that a mixture arises when different substances are incorporated without chemical interaction into a whole. If it is made up of pure substances that do not lose their natural properties upon integration, it is called a homogeneous mixture . These are solutions and are characterized by not displaying their components in a differentiated manner before the eyes of the observer, who only detects a single phase.
Heterogeneous mixtures , on the other hand, are compositions that lack uniformity, such as colloids or suspensions. An example of this type of mixture is a salad that combines several ingredients (such as lettuce, tomato and onion, or celery, carrot and egg).

However, many of the performances in which Luciano joined other singers resulted in very interesting arrangements that demonstrated to more than one that Opera and academic music could be as friendly and close as Rock or Pop.
Carey, a pioneer
Continuing in the musical field, 90 percent of solo singers of the last decade have specialized in a hybrid genre that combines R&B (Rhythm and Blues) with Hip Hop, resulting in a sound typical of songs from this generation. However, not many know that the first person to mix these styles was Mariah Carey, one of the most famous singer-songwriters in the world.
