Answer & Explanation:

  • A homogeneous mixture is a (solid, liquid, or gaseous) mixture that has the same ratios of its components in any given sample.
  • On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture has components whose proportions are different throughout the sample.
  • "Homogeneous" and "heterogeneous" are not absolute terms but depend on context and the size of the sample.
  • In chemistry, a homogeneous suspension of material means that when dividing the volume in half, the same amount of material is suspended in both halves of the substance; however, it might be possible to see the particles under a microscope.
  • An example of a homogeneous mixture is air.
