    • Homogeneous Mixture: The particles are not visible to the naked eye.

    • Heterogeneous Mixture: The particles are often visible to the naked eye.

  3. Boundaries of Separation:

    • Homogeneous Mixture: There are no visible boundaries of separation between the various constituents.

    • Heterogeneous Mixture: There are visible boundaries of separation between the various constituents.
