Detailed explanation-1: -Heterogeneous mixtures have visually distinguishable components, while homogeneous mixtures appear uniform throughout. The most common type of homogenous mixture is a solution, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two categories of heterogeneous mixtures: suspensions and colloids. Suspensions are mixtures that have larger particles that will separate into layers when left undisturbed. Colloids, by contrast, are substances that have particles mixed together that do not settle out but can be separated by chemical means.

Detailed explanation-3: -A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where throughout the solution the composition is not uniform. By definition, a single-phase consists of a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture. There are two or more phases of a heterogeneous mixture.

Detailed explanation-4: -In most technical applications homogeneous means that the properties of a system are the uniform throughout the entire system; heterogeneous (also inhomogeneous) means that the properties change within the system. Any system with two phases like ice and water are said to be heterogeneous.

Detailed explanation-5: -A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present. Examples include ice cubes in a drink, sand and water, and salt and oil. The liquid that is immiscible form heterogeneous mixtures. A good example is a mixture of oil and water.
