Can you check this for me?

What is the difference between homegenous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures?

The difference between the two is that in a homogeneous mixture, the ingredients or elements are uniformly spread while in a hetergeneous mixture, it's the exact opposite. One part might have more than the other.

This is what I got: I'm confused...is it the other way around?

A heterogeneous mixture is one that does not blend smoothly and in which the individual substances remain distinct. A homogeneous mixture has the same composition throughout, and always has the same phase.

...so this is correct?

yes, mc, you are correct.

I apologize for any confusion. To clarify, in a homogeneous mixture, the components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, making it appear uniform. On the other hand, in a heterogeneous mixture, the components are not evenly distributed and can be distinguished as separate substances within the mixture.
