Are pancakes a mixture or solution?

Pancakes are a mixture. Here's why:

* Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded. The substances in a mixture retain their individual properties.

* Solutions are a special type of mixture where one substance (the solute) dissolves completely into another substance (the solvent).

Pancakes are made from a combination of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and other ingredients. These ingredients don't chemically combine to form a new substance. They remain distinct, even after being mixed together. You can still identify the flour particles, the egg proteins, and the milk solids within the batter.

Therefore, because the components of pancake batter are not chemically bonded, it's considered a mixture.
