Pure water is not usually considered a mixture at all, because it is a chemical compound. It could logically be considered a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen atomic nuclei and electrons, but compounds are preferably not called mixtures at all, to emphasize their chemical distinctiveness.

Is pure water a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous?

Pure water is a homogeneous mixture because it has a uniform composition throughout, with the same proportions of water molecules.


Is iodine and water homogeneous or heterogeneous?

They are homogeneous. But they are not a mixture, so they are a pure substance


Is tap water an element compound heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous mixture?

Tap water is a homogeneous mixture, which means it has a uniform composition throughout. It is a mixture of water molecules along with dissolved minerals, gases, and other compounds, but these components are evenly distributed.


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.


Substances are divided into two classes?

Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
