Heterogeneous

A heterogeneous compound, mixture, or other such object is one that consists of many different items. It is the antonym of homogeneous, which means that the object consists of many identical items. It is often used in a scientific or mathematical context. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more than two compounds where each and every compound is visible(d.s).
