Heterogeneous Mixture Examples

Heterogeneous Mixture Examples Heterogeneous Mixture A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that, quite simply, is not uniform throughout. Hetero- means different. You could separate the parts of the mixture from each other-this is one of the hallmarks of a heterogeneous mixture. Another characteristic is that the different substances that make up a heterogeneous mixture keep their own properties. Examples of Heterogeneous Mixture: A bowl of Chex Mix A piggy bank full of different kinds of coins Sand in a bottle of water (it will settle/separate if you allow it to sit) Soil Vinegar and Oil (again, they will separate if you allow to sit) A bowl of M&Ms-different colors A bowl of mixed nuts A casserole containing chicken, rice, and cheese A pizza with various toppings
