heterogeneous and homogeneous are words used to describe a system, not a single element. For example, with regards to catalysis you could have a homogeneous catalyst which means one that works in the same phase as the reactant (i.e. both solid or both liquid or both gas) or a heterogeneous catalyst, which works in a different phase to the reactant, so a solid catalyst for a gaseous reactant etc.
