What are homogeneous and heterogeneous?

Answer 1

A homogeneous mixture shows no variance in its properties. A heterogeneous mixture shows more than one property.

For example, if you were to mix oil and water, the mixture would display two different properties because the oil will separate from the water. In that case you can see more than one property to your mixture, so it is classified as a heterogeneous mixture.

In contrast, a homogeneous mixture shows only one property. An example of this is the air your are breathing. The atmosphere is comprised of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide and several other gasses including water vapor.

Answer 2

Homogeneous refers to a mixture with uniform composition and properties, where the components are evenly distributed. Heterogeneous refers to a mixture with non-uniform composition and properties, where the components are not evenly distributed and can be seen as separate phases.
