An homogeneous mixture has all parts of the mixture in the same phase. Examples: salty water, air, solutions, alcoholic drinks.

An heterogenous mixture has at least one part in a different phase. Examples: Fog (water in air/gas), smoke (sold in gas)

Can the terms heterogeneous and homogeneous be applied to pure substances as well as mixtures?

Yes, the terms heterogeneous and homogeneous can be applied to both pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance can be either homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition), depending on its physical properties. Similarly, a mixture can also be classified as either homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition) based on the distribution of its components.


Two types of mixtures?

The two types of mixtures is heterogeneous and homogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures are two or more substances combined but not chemically. You can see the two substances. Homogeneous mixtures are two or more substance that are chemically combined. You are not able to see the different substances; they appear as one.

What is the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous?

== == You probably mean heterogeneous and homogeneous. The difference is in the mix. Homogeneous substances are evenly proportioned through the entire substance while heterogeneous substances have varying concentration (like toothpaste with stripes). Yes, the same is when these prefixes are used to describe sexuality. Homo is same and hetero is different.You probably mean heterogeneous and homogeneous.
