Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definitions: A homogeneous mixture is one that has a uniform composition throughout, meaning the different components are not visibly distinguishable. A heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition, where the different components can be seen as distinct parts.
Consider the composition of honey: Honey is primarily composed of sugars like fructose and glucose, along with water and other trace substances. These components are mixed at the molecular level.
Evaluate the appearance of honey: When you look at honey, it appears uniform and consistent throughout, without any visible separation of its components.
Compare with the definitions: Since honey appears uniform and its components are not visibly distinct, it fits the definition of a homogeneous mixture.
Conclude based on observations: Based on its uniform appearance and consistent composition, honey is classified as a homogeneous mixture.
