Solution

Homogeneous mixture Heterogeneous mixture

(II) The whole mixture is in same phase.
(III) Components are not visible to the naked eye.
(IV) Components cannot be separated easily.
Eg.: Sugar + Water $\to$ Sugar solution (I) Heterogeneous mixture have composition which may vary from point to point.
(II) Substances can be of two phases and layers may separate.
(III) Component of mixture can be seen easily.
