Heterogeneous means that there are different compounds in a sample. Heterogeneous is a term used with mixtures and the way I like to think about it is:

If you have cheerios, apple jacks, and coco puffs in a bowl you have a heterogeneous mixture because you can physically separate the cereals from each other. If you can not physically separate out the components, it is not a mixture.
