# homogeneous

adjective (homogeneous)

«homogeneous» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. Homogeneous means the same all the way through, with every part alike. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/H/homogeneous/#m1)
2. A homogeneous group is made of people or things that are all of the same kind. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/H/homogeneous/#m2)

### In the lessons

In science lessons, a homogeneous mixture looks the same everywhere, like salt fully dissolved in water or air; a heterogeneous mixture has parts you can see, like sand in water. In maths and data, a homogeneous group has very similar members. In everyday life and society, people may say a town is less homogeneous as people from many places move there. Opposite: heterogeneous.

### Examples

- Salt water is a homogeneous mixture. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/H/homogeneous/#x1)

### Note

Say «hom-uh-JEE-nee-us». «Homo-» means same, «-gen-» means kind. «Homogenous» (without the second e) is a common variant, but in science «homogeneous» is the standard spelling. Opposite: heterogeneous.
