Mixtures which have uniform composition throughout are called Homogeneous Mixture. For example – mixture of salt and water, mixture of sugar and water, air, lemonade, soda water, etc.

Mixtures which do not have uniform composition throughout are called Heterogeneous Mixture. For example – mixture of soil and sand, mixture of sulphur and iron fillings, mixture of oil and water etc. The boundaries of constituent particles of a homogeneous mixture can be identified easily; as a homogeneous mixture has two or more distinct phases.

An alloy is a material composed of two or more metals or a metal and non metal. It may be a solid solution of the elements of single phase or a mixture of two or more metallic phases. Solid alloys give a single solid phase microstructure. Alloys are used where their properties are superior to those of pure component elements. Examples are steel,solder,brass,amalgam etc.
