Answer:

Heterogeneous mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture that contains substances that are not evenly mixed is called a heterogeneous mixture.

A heterogenous mixture is one in which their constituents exists in different phases. Examples are solutions, suspensions and colloids.

When the mixtures are evenly mixed, they are said to be homogenous mixtures. Their components are in the same phase.
