What is the behavior of the components of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures?
Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures which get completely mixed in
the solution. For example, a solution of salt and water.
Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures which do not get completely
mixed in the solution. For example, a solution of sand and
water.

What is a solid solution of a metal a nonmetal dissolved in a metal?
This is an alloy. As tgere are different sorts of alloys its
best to call it a solid solution alloy to distinguish it from
mixtures of different phases which are found in steel for
example.

A colloid is an example of a mixture. Specifically, colloids are
mixtures in which the components do not separate. Mixtures in which
the components do separate are known as suspensions.

Asked in Chemistry
Is metal a mixture or element or compound?
it depends. A lot of metals are elements like iron for example,
these can be mixed to form alloys(compounds) steel for example is
an aloy of carbon and iron. Metals exist as mixtures when they are
found in their ores(mixed with other metals and minerals) and must
be separated from their mixtures by smelting.
