Question

Which refers to a mixture that contains more than one phase in which the characteristics of the particles vary throughout the mixture? compound element heterogeneous homogeneous

Answer 1

The correct answer is heterogeneous

Answer 2

Answer: Heterogeneous

Explanation: Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements. Example: $Na$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.Example: $H_2O$

Mixtures are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material and there is a distinct boundary. Example: Sand in water

Homogeneous mixtures are those in which components are evenly distributed throughout the material and thus there is no distinct boundary.Example: Milk in water
