A mixture is of two types:-
1.Homogeneous mixture
•In homogeneous mixture, the components are mixed uniformly to microscopic level.
•The components cannot be seen by naked eyes or with the help of microscope.
•The mixture is uniform throughout having a single phase.
•The homogeneous mixture is isotropic in nature, i.e., every portion of it has the same composition and properties.
•Alloys such as brass, steel, 22-carat gold. Solutions such as common salt dissolved in water and gasoline, air,etc., are some of the examples of homogeneous mixtures.
2.Heterogeneous mixture
•A heterogeneous mixture is not uniform throughout the solution.
•It can have two or more phases.
•The components can be seen by the naked eyes or with the help of microscope.
•It has anisotropic properties,i.e., properties are not uniform throughout the mixture.
•Soil, a mixture of sulphur and sand, a mixture of iron fillings and sand, smoke,etc., are the examples of heterogeneous mixture.
