Answer:
What is a Homogeneous Mixture?
These are the types of mixtures in which the components mixed are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. In other words, “they are uniform throughout”. We can observe only one phase of matter in a homogeneous mixture. Key points regarding such mixtures are:
Particles are distributed uniformly
We can’t judge a homogeneous mixture by just seeing it
Homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions
Uniform composition
Example: rainwater, vinegar, etc.
What is Heterogeneous Mixture?
This is a type of mixture in which all the components are completely mixed and all the particles can be seen under a microscope.
Particles are distributed non uniformly
We can judge a heterogeneous mixture by just seeing it
Non-uniform composition
Example: seawater, pizza, etc.
Difference between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixture
Homogeneous mixture Heterogeneous mixture
It has a uniform composition It has a non-uniform composition.
It has only one phase There are two or more phases
It can’t be separated out physically It can be separated out physically
‘homo’ means the same ‘hetero’ means different
Example: a mixture of alcohol and water Example: a mixture of sodium chloride and sand
Explanation:

- It has a uniform composition It has a non-uniform
- It has only one phase There are two or more phases
- It can’t be separated out physically It can be separated out physically
- ‘homo’ means the same ‘hetero’ means different
