Heterogeneous will be like Italian dressing because you have to shake it for all its contents to mix evenly on your salad, but if you leave it on the table all the different ingredients will settle back down. Its contents are not evenly distributed so its heterogeneous. Another example is water and oil. The oil always float on water.

Homogeneous will be like koolaid because the sugar and water is evenly distributed.

What is difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture?

Homogenous mixtures are ones in which you cannot see the different parts that make it up. An example is milk. Heterogenous mixtures are ones that you can make out and seperate the different parts easily such as chex mix. with a heterogeneous mixture you can see the difference but a homogeneous mixture is mixed soo well you can't tell the difference. A heterogeneous mixture is one that does not blend smoothly and in which the individual substances remain distinct. A homogeneous mixture has the same composition throughout, and always has a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture's components are not evenly distributed and are immiscible, or not able to be mixed. A homogeneous mixture's components are evenly distributed and are miscible, or able to be mixed.

You can't tell the substance is a mixture by looking at it: Saltwater Brass


Is a French horn a heterogeneous mixure?

The metal the french horn is made of would be a homogeneous mixture, since you can't distinctively tell the different types of metals within the final metal mixture. I guess as a whole it could be a heterogeneous mixture, since you can see the distinct different parts, such as the strings on the rotary valves.
