It completely differs in the substance, however, most are homogeneous. Most will likely be solutions. For example: when mercury dissolves in gold, it creates an amalgam (mercury a liquid and gold a solid, mercury is in the dispersed state and gold in a continuous state). Another solution is the silver dentists use to fill teeth. One way to tell whether it is homogeneous or heterogeneous is if it is affected by the Tyndale effect, which is the scattering of light off suspended particles in a fluid mixture. Only heterogeneous mixtures will follow the Tyndale effect. If no light path is shown through the liquid, it is homogeneous. If light is shown through, it is heterogeneous.

Alloys are a homogenous mixture of two or more metals. Alloys are not heterogenous a heterogenous mixture is evenly mixed and alloys are made up of two different metals not always in even quantities

Is bronze an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

Bronze is an alloy. I've never heard of classifying metals as homogeneous or heterogeneous. If I had to put it in one, well it's definitely not heterogeneous, because that would consist of a mixture of dissimilar components. An alloy has a uniform 'mixture' of elements, so I guess that would make it homogeneous!

A silver plate would be a heterogeneous mixture if there is a metal alloy in it also. If it was pure silver, then it would be a homogeneous mixture. Assuming that there is a metal alloy comprised with the silver plate, it is most likely a heterogeneous mixture.
