Explanation:
This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.
An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another atom (to form a negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.
For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.
Explanation: A <u>homogeneous mixture</u> is a solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample. The components that make them up are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout.
A<u> heterogeneous mixture</u> has components whose proportions vary throughout the sample. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are visible and not uniform throughout. A heterogeneous mixture is simply any mixture that is not uniform in composition.
a) Peanuts and almonds mixed together in a bowl : The components(Peanuts and almonds) are visible in a bowl and are not evenly distributed and also not uniform throughout. So this is a 'heterogeneous mixture'.
b) Bucket full of sand and gravel : The components(sand and gravel) are visible in a bucket and are not evenly distributed and also not uniform throughout. So this is a 'heterogeneous mixture'.
c) Cup of tea and sugar : The components(tea and sugar) are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout. So this is a 'Homogeneous mixture'.
d) Food coloring dissolved in water : The components(Food coloring and water) are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout. So this is a 'Homogeneous mixture'.
