Both compounds and homogeneous mixtures are made of more than one element and are homogeneous. However, compounds must be made from elements in an exact ratio and involve chemical bonds between the elements in them.

Are Homogeneous mixture particles spread evenly?

no


What is an evenly distributed uniform misture called?

This type of mixture is known as a homogeneous mixture. On the other hand, a mixture in which the particles are not distributed evenly is a heterogeneous mixture.


Is alcohol an element compound homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?

Alcohol is a compoundA compound; regular drinking alcohol has formula C2H5OH, other alcohols have similar formulas. Of course, if you mixed more than one type of alcohol together, it would be a mixture.


Is a bag of M and Ms a homogeneous mixture?

Yes, a bag of M&M's is a homogeneous mixture because all of the different colored M&M's are evenly distributed throughout the bag. This means that no matter where you sample from the bag, you will always get a similar mix of colors and flavors.


How is a compound similar to a homeogeneous mixture?

In the strictest chemical sense a compound is the term for a molecule, a compound of elements. Sugar, salt and water are examples of compounds. As such compounds have the qualities of consistent color, well defined physical properties (such as melting or boiling point). Compounds cannot be separated because they are of a uniform structure. Homogeneous mixtures are similar to compounds only in appearance. Thus a mixture of sugar and salt may not be discernible from samples of either simply by sight. A better example would be to consider a solution of salt and water. Solutions are also homogeneous mixtures. A saline solution is visually indiscernible from water. In a broader definition, any mixture can be referred to as a compound- if the mixture has a consistent appearance, the two are the same.

How are compounds and homogeneous mixtures similar?

A compound is similar to a homogeneous mixture in that the proportions of the atoms throughout the compound/mixture are always fixed and do not vary. For example, a sample of pure C02 gas is a compound and will always have two parts oxygen to every carbon atom. Likewise, a homogeneous mixture of salt water will always have a fixed proportion of salt ions to water. (However, a heterogeneous mixture, such as muddy water would not always have a fixed proportion of mud to water since the mud might settle towards the bottom. The solution strength of a heterogeneous mixture can vary while a homogeneous mixture remains constant).A homogeneous mixture can be separated into its constituent components by physical means. For example, you can evaporate off the water off a sugar-water mixture, or you can filter a mixture of water and sand.A compound, however, requires some kind of chemical reaction to separate it into its constituent elements.


How does homogeneous mixture's differ from heterogeneous mixture's?

hetero means that the parts of the mixture are different in some way from each other, as where homo means that the parts of the mixture are the same or very similar.


How are homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture similar?

one way to tell the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous is that homogeneous is clear and heterogeneous isn't. by alison the 7th grader

Is solution of sodium hydroxide a mixture?

yes, it is a homogeneous mixture. i had a lab packet for chemistry due the other day and we went over it and this was a very similar question. it showed 4 pictures and we had to pick the homogeneous mixture in the previous illustrations.

How can you prove the clear substance of water and baking soda is a solution and not a compound?

Because a solution is similar to a homogeneous mixture which means that it is so evenly mixed that you cant see the different parts

Is heterogeneous mixture?

Heterogeneous means of different types. So a heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of dissimilar items. Homogeneous means of the same type so a homogeneous mixture would be a mixture of similar items.A mixture where two or more substances are mixed together but are not chemically combined is called as an heterogeneous mixture.In chemistry, heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more different substances in the form of solution or colloids. For example, salad is an heterogeneous mixtureA heterogenous mixture is not uniform in composition and properties throughout.
