- A homogeneous mixture is two or more substances mixed together to make a product. Ex. Sugar + water = pop   - A heterogeneous mixture is also a mixture of two mr â¦ more substances, but each substance is distinct in the product. Ex. Chocolate chip muffin-the chocolate chips are clearly visible, not mixed together with the muffin.
A compound is a substance in which atoms of different elements are chemically held to one another. A mixture is a substance made by combining two or more different materials in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs.A mixture can usually be separated back into its original components, a compound can not.  The difference is that a compound is a chemically combined  'mixture' (well defined, with one set of properties) and a mixture  is not chemically combined (in a non-defined, variable combination  of compounds and/or elements, all with its own properties:  kerosine/gasoline/naphta, moist/dry air).
