Detailed explanation-1: -A heterogeneous mixture has non uniform composition, and the proportions of its components vary throughout the sample. For example, a mixture of sand and sugar where the proportions vary throughout the sample and the individual components are visible.

Detailed explanation-2: -A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture with a non-uniform composition. The composition varies from one region to another with at least two phases that remain separate from each other, with clearly identifiable properties. If you examine a sample of a heterogeneous mixture, you can see the separate components.

Detailed explanation-3: -The only way for a compound to be a heterogeneous mixture is if it is present in two or more states, such as water and ice, or dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) and carbon dioxide gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture where the components do not dissolve in each other and can be seen with naked eye. No worries!

Detailed explanation-5: -A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition and appearance. Individual substances that constitute a homogeneous mixture cannot be visually differentiated. On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture comprises two or more substances that can be distinctly observed, and even separated relatively easily.
