Answer:
In chemistry, when two or more substances mix with each other without participating in a chemical change, the resulting substance is called a Mixture.
Mixtures can be classified into the following categories:
- Homogeneous mixtures – possess the same properties and combination throughout their mass.
- Heterogeneous mixtures – possess different properties and compositions in various parts.
Difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture
The difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture are tabulated below.
| Homogeneous Mixture | Heterogeneous mixture |
| Comprises uniform compositions | Comprises non- uniform compositions |
| The components in this mixture are not distant physically. They appear to be in the combined form. | The components in this mixture are distant physically. They do not appear to be in the combined form. |
| Separation between the constituents is not visible. | Separation between the constituents is visible. |
| Examples: Sugar solution, salt solution, alloy | Examples: Mixture of sand and water, Mixture of sugar and grains |
