2. The differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture are:

S.No.	Homogenous Mixture	Heterogenous Mixture
1	The mixture in which the components mixed with each other evenly throughout the mixture is called a homogenous mixture.	The mixture in which the components do not mixed up throughout and can be observed separately is called a heterogeneous mixture.
2	Components of the mixture cannot be seen with naked eyes.	Components can be clearly seen with naked eyes.
3	The size of components is of atom or molecule level.	The components are bigger in size.
4	Components can not be separated easily.	Components of heterogenous can be separated easily.
5	Example- salt solution in water.	For example- a mixture of salt and sugar.
