Rice pudding would be an example of a heterogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture means that different constituents of a mixture can be identified. Rice pudding consists of rice suspended in a cream. It is possible to identify the grains of rice and the creamy part of the mixture. A homogeneous mixture looks the same throughout--you cannot identify individual parts or ingredients. The parts of a homogeneous mixture are said to be uniformly distributed. Rainwater and air are examples of homogeneous mixtures.
