Dear student,

The difference between homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures are:

• By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase
• Particles are distributed uniformly
• We can’t judge a homogeneous mixture by just seeing it
• Homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions
• Uniform composition
• While a heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases.
• Particles are distributed non uniformly
• We can judge a heterogeneous mixture by just seeing it
• Non-uniform composition
