"heterogeneous" :(Latin, "different kinds"). Any mixture or solution comprised of two or more substances, whether or not they are uniformly dispersed. Common examples are such diverse materials as air(a mixture of 1/5th oxygen and 4/5ths nitrogen), milk, marble, paint, gasoline, blood, mayonnaise. In all such cases the mixtures can be separated mechanically into their components. "Homogenized" milk is as heterogeneous as regular milk, and the term is, strictly speaking, a misnomer. 1, record 3, English, - heterogeneous
