(N/A) mixture consists of two or more substances mixed in any proportion. Because the composition of a mixture is variable,the intermolecular forces and the energy required for phase transitions are not constant. Therefore,a mixture does not have a fixed melting or a fixed boiling point; instead,it melts or boils over a range of temperatures.
