Pure iron in elemental state is homogeneous. Iron Ore is heterogeneous. Iron - as in cast iron, wrought iron or even pig iron, has impurities deliberately added to improve properties. These alloys are mainly homogeneous but do have domains of heterogeneity which give the material the improved properties.

∙ 11y agoPure iron is homogeneous. It is an element (Fe, atomic #26), and is therefore a pure substance with nothing else mixed in. Combining iron with a little bit of carbon makes steel, which is still homogeneous because it has the same consistency throughout. A heterogenous substance is one where you can actually discern the parts of the mixture, like most soups.
