Lead is a chemical element, not a mixture.
Homogeneous and heterogeneous can apply to a range of things, one example would be to catalysts.
heterogeneous
Lead is a chemical element not a mixture.
heterogeneous No, it is HOMOGENEOUS. (edited by Dr. J.)
A pewter mug is homogeneous because you cant see the different substances that make it. If you want to think of different terms, if you take the mug and the handle of it, they are 2 separate things which can also make it heterogeneous. honestly, both terms work!
No. A recent example was when the FBI gave up insisting that all bullets from a given melt would have the same mixture composition. Bullet melts are generally made from quite variable scrap, (lead, antimony, tin.) and due to their different specific gravities, they are not evenly distributed throughout the melt.
In Chemistry things are described as element, compound, or mixture Pewter is a mixture as it is made up of a combination of different compounds.

sugar itself is not a mixture, now dissolved in water is homogeneous, increasing quantity can lead to hetergeneous mixture because of precipitate
It is a pure substance.

A lead weight is made from the metallic element Lead (symbol Pb) so it is simply a pure element, it is not a mixture or a compound.
A river is heterogeneous, because it has several different substances, such as broadly silt and fish (if you're thinking about it like that) or it is also contained, H20, O2, substances like that so either way it is heterogeneous.

Since it is made up of more than 2 different parts, I would say it is a heterogeneous mixture.
Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.
