Penny of Thoughts on Mixtures

I used to think that mixtures can be formed by combination and broken down by decomposition. But now I think that a mixture consists of two or more different substances that are mixed but does not go through any chemical reactions. Both combination and decomposition are chemical methods.

I also used to think that mixtures cannot be separated. But now I think that there are five ways to separate mixtures. The five ways are: 1) Filtration 2) Magnetic attraction 3) Distillation 4) Evaporation 5) Paper chromatography.
