# Mixtures This document describes homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. ## Homogeneous Mixtures A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed and only one phase is visible. **Examples:** * Sugar water (water + sugar) * Milk * Bronze (copper-tin alloy) **Characteristics:** | Characteristic | Homogeneous Mixture | Heterogeneous Mixture | |---|---|---| | Number of phases | 1 | 2 or more | | Can the constituents be distinguished? | No | Yes | | Arrangement of particles | Uniform | Non-uniform | ## Heterogeneous Mixtures A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components are not uniformly distributed and more than one phase is visible. **Examples:** * Red ice plus vegetable oil * Water plus sand **Characteristics:** | Characteristic | Homogeneous Mixture | Heterogeneous Mixture | |---|---|---| | Number of phases | 1 | 2 or more | | Can the constituents be distinguished? | No | Yes | | Arrangement of particles | Uniform | Non-uniform | **Visual Representation:** The document also includes diagrams that visually represent the arrangement of particles in homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. The homogeneous mixture shows uniformly distributed particles, while the heterogeneous mixture shows particles in different regions.
