homogeneous

Homogeneous means that something is all the same. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. For example, a glass of water is a homogeneous mixture because the water molecules are evenly distributed throughout the glass.

Other examples of homogeneous mixtures include:

• Air
• Saltwater
• Juice
• Paint

Homogeneous mixtures are often clear or transparent. This is because the components are evenly distributed and there are no large particles that can scatter light.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains different components, such as a salad or a smoothie.
