What are homogeneous mixtures and what are heterogeneous mixtures?

The difference between inhomogeneous and homogeneous mixtures is the degree of mixing of materials and the homogeneity of their composition.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components that make up its composition are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The composition of the mixture does not change. In a homogeneous mixture, only one phase of the substance is observed. There are several examples of homogeneous mixtures found in everyday life: air, sugar water, rain water, vodka, vinegar, dish detergent, steel.

An inhomogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are not the same or localized areas with different properties. Different samples from the mixture are not identical to each other. Heterogeneous mixtures are more common than homogeneous mixtures. Examples include: cereals in milk, vegetable soup, pizza, blood, ice in soda, salad dressing, mixture of nuts, soil.
