mixing
The process in which different substances, elements, or objects are combined with one another so that a mixed unit is formed.
Die Vermischung der beiden Chemikalien führte zu einer unerwarteten Reaktion.

The word is derived from the verb 'vermischen' (to mix). The ending '-ung' turns it into a noun that describes the process or result of mixing.
Bitte vermische die Zutaten gut, bevor du den Teig in die Form gibst.
Please mix the ingredients well before you put the dough into the pan.
To describe what is being mixed, you usually use the preposition 'von' with the dative or the genitive. The genitive version is somewhat more formal.

In a physical context, 'Vermischung' (mixing) is often used with concrete substances. Common combinations are 'die Vermischung von Zutaten' (the mixing of ingredients), 'von Flüssigkeiten' (of liquids), or 'von Gasen' (of gases).

You can tell from the context whether the physical or abstract meaning is intended. If it is about concrete substances like 'Zutaten' (ingredients) or 'Chemikalien' (chemicals), it refers to physical mixing. With terms like 'Kulturen' (cultures), 'Stile' (styles), or 'Ideen' (ideas), it is the abstract meaning.

connection / association
'Verbindung' and 'Vermischung' both have to do with bringing things together. 'Verbindung' is broader and can simply mean that something belongs together, is used together, or is chemically bonded. 'Vermischung' emphasizes the act of mixing: different substances, things, or ideas are mixed together so that a mixed unit is formed. The words can be confusing because both refer to a kind of combination. In practical terms: for contact, connection, or combination, you are more likely to say 'Verbindung'. If the parts are really being mixed, 'Vermischung' fits better.
