Should there be a note in this article regarding "homogenous"?

[edit]

It seem to me that there's a commonplace confusion regarding these two words. One "e" makes a big difference! Regards, Nikevich (talk) 21:00, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have always (until now) operated under the misapprehension that "homogenous" was the correct spelling (probably because of how I pronounce the word) - The Oxford Dictionaries website suggests it is an incorrect spelling that has gained in usage since 2000, making it an "established variant": http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/homogeneous - I'm going to make an edit on the Homogeneity and heterogeneity article - perhaps a link from here would be handy 217.205.197.194 (talk) 15:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I added a figure reprinting at the atomic level the deference’s between homogeneous mixtures, heterogeneous mixtures, compounds, and elements. It is in a style that is often seen in text books. I created the figure; however, I think it would be good if someone who knows more about creating graphics remade it (so that it looks better).Jasoninkid (talk) 17:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
