A mixture that appears to contain only one substance is a homogeneous mixture.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Mixture </h3>

A mixture is a substance that is made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined and in fixed proportions.
A mixture may have several varying physical properties.

<h3>Types of mixtures</h3><h3>Heterogeneous mixtures</h3>

This is a type of mixture that contains different substances or two or more phases of matter.
The components of heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform such that different samples of the mixture are not identical to each other.
Examples of heterogeneous mixtures are; blood, soil, Gravel, etc.

<h3>Suspension </h3>

It is a type of heterogeneous mixture made of larger particles that are visible and normally settles when the mixture is undisturbed.
Examples include, tomato juice, fine sand, etc.

<h3>Homogeneous mixtures </h3>

These are mixtures with a similar uniform appearance and composition throughout. Examples are, steel, air salt water, etc.
Homogeneous mixtures may either be, a colloid or a solution.

<h3>Solutions </h3>

Solutions are types of homogeneous mixtures containing two or more substances in a single phase.
Solutions contain, a solute which is the substance that dissolves in the other substance and a solvent which is the substances that dissolves the solute.
For example, in a salt solution, water is the solvent and salt is the solute.

<h3>Colloid </h3>

A colloid is a homogeneous solution that has an intermediate size particle between a suspension and a solution.
Examples of colloids are fog and milk.
