Heterogeneous mixture
It is a mixture in which the particle or substances are not evenly spread or distributed as shown in the above figure. This type of mixture can be easily converted to their original shape through chemical processes. Heterogeneous mixtures are also called as suspensions or colloids. The word ‘hetero’ means different.
For example- Mud is a good example for colloids. If you mix some mud with water and keep it for few days, you can see that mud gets settled in the bottom of the container. Hence this shows that mud and water form a heterogeneous mixture. This kind of suspensions or colloids are visible to the naked eye.
