A mixture where all parts are evenly distributed

A uniform mixture

Soda is an example because you can not see any individual components of the drink, they are uniformly spread

Heterogenous

Opposite of a homogeneous mixture

Components of a mixture are not spread evenly, they are visible throughout

Trail mix is an example because you can see the separate nuts, raisons, seeds, etc.
