In a homogeneous mixture the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) of the substances mixed are distributed evenly so that any two samples taken from different locations in the mixture are identical. Examples include salt water, where the salt is evely distributed through the water, and brass, where the copper and zinc are evenly distributed.

In a heterogeneous mixture the distribution is uneven and the components form two or more phases, in which the composition is different. For example, the two phases in mud are the water and the particles of dirt.
