By itself, a compound is homogeneous, but it is not a mixture.

To be a mixture, two (or more) elements or compounds need to be combined.

And to be a homogeneous mixture, they have to combine in such a way as to not appear separate: no lumps, particles, or layers. This is called being uniform throughout.

A classic example of a homogeneous mixture is salt or sugar which has been dissolved completely in water; most mixed drinks (in which juice, milk, and/or another alcoholic beverage has been dissolved in alcohol) would also qualify.

No, a mixture cannot be a compound. A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances, each of which retains its own properties, while a compound is a substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions.

No. Water is a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen it is homogeneous. Water with dirt suspended in it is heterogeneous.

Salt is a compound of sodium and chlorine. Pure salt is a white crystal that is homogeneous. Sea salt is sold with some contaminants left in it, flecks of other compounds, perhaps sea weed, then it is heterogeneous.

No, compounds are homogeneous substances (definite composition). A mixture of compounds, however, can be a heterogeneous mixture (depending on the substances).
