Dirt is a heterogeneous mixture, as it consists of various components such as organic matter, minerals, water, and air, which are not uniformly distributed. The different particles in dirt can vary in size, composition, and origin, making it distinctly non-uniform. Unlike a homogeneous mixture, where the composition is consistent throughout, dirt exhibits visible variations.

Can a mixture be a compound?

By itself, a compound is homogeneous, but it is not a mixture.To be a mixture, two (or more) elements or compounds need to be combined.And to be a homogeneous mixture, they have to combine in such a way as to not appear separate: no lumps, particles, or layers. This is called being uniform throughout.A classic example of a homogeneous mixture is salt or sugar which has been dissolved completely in water; most mixed drinks (in which juice, milk, and/or another alcoholic beverage has been dissolved in alcohol) would also qualify.
