When you combine two or more materials, you form a mixture. In chemistry, a mixture is a combination that does not produce a chemical reaction. There are two categories of mixtures: homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. Here's a closer look at these types of mixtures and examples of mixtures.
Homogeneous Mixtures
Homogeneous mixtures appear uniform to the eye. They consist of a single phase, be it liquid, gas, or solid, no matter where you sample them or how closely you examine them. The chemical composition is the same for any sample of the mixture.
Heterogeneous Mixtures
Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform. If you take two samples from different parts of the mixture, they will not have an identical composition. You can use a mechanical method to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture (e.g., sorting candies in a bowl or filtering rocks to separate them from sand).
