Answer
| Feature | Homogeneous | Heterogeneous |
|---|---|---|
| Composition | Uniform throughout | Non-uniform |
| Phase | Single phase | Two or more phases |
| Components visible? | No | Yes |
| Examples | Salt water, air, alloys | Salad, soil, muddy water |
Homogeneous mixtures are uniform at all points; heterogeneous mixtures have visibly different regions with different compositions.
