Study Notes
Heterogeneous vs. Homogeneous
- Heterogeneous materials consist of distinct, identifiable components that remain separate and can vary in appearance and composition.
- Homogeneous materials have a consistent composition and appearance throughout, with no distinguishable parts.
Examples of Heterogeneous Materials
- Wood: Comprised of various organic materials, differing in texture and color.
- Rocky Soil: Contains a mix of rocks, minerals, and organic matter, not uniform.
- Sausage and Mushroom Pizza: A mix of various toppings and crust, visually distinct.
- Lucky Charms: A cereal with colorful marshmallows and oats, presenting a variety of shapes and colors.
- Milk: Contains both liquid and suspended particles, can appear uniform at a glance but is heterogeneous upon closer inspection.
Examples of Homogeneous Materials
- Black Coffee: Uniformly brewed with no visible components, consistent in flavor.
- Water: A clear liquid with a consistent composition of H2O molecules throughout.
- Air: A mixture of gases that appears uniform and is experienced as one entity.
- Salt: Sodium chloride crystals that dissolve completely in water, creating a uniform solution.
- Gold: A pure metal that appears the same throughout, regularly used in alloys and jewelry.
