Solution

Homogeneous mixture

Heterogeneous mixture
  • The homogeneous mixture is one in which the particles are uniformly distributed within the container.
  • The heterogeneous mixture is one in which the particle or substances are not evenly spread or distributed.

  • These are called as solutions.
  • These are called as suspensions/colloids.

  • The particles appear smaller in size.
EX: milk, gasoline, sugar solution, corn oil, fog etc.
  • The particles are either smaller or larger in size.
EX: a mixture of mud & water, beach sand, vinegar, air cloud etc.
The compound nature of water can be attributed to the following two reasons
  • The ration of hydrogen and oxygen in water remain same irrespective of its source.
  • The water shows different property than its constituent element which is a property of the compound.
