Is solder heterogenous or homogenous?

It could be either. Any type of liquid core solder (acid core, rosin core, etc.) is heterogenous, since there's the metal part and the core part. A solid-core solder is probably homogeneous.

What are the physical and chemical properties of solder?

Solder is a mixture of various metals. Its physical property is that it melts at fairly low temperatures, not so low that it melts when this is undesired. Its reactions are the same as the component metals.

What keeps a solder joint clean?

Sand paper or steel wool to clean it and flux to clean the oil or other surface contaminants so that the solder will stick.


Special property of solder?

Solder has a relatively low melting point, and it wets many different metals allowing it to be used to join (solder) them together. It is also fairly resistant to corrosion when the correct solder alloy is applied to the work. We see a lot of solder used in electrical and electrical applications, so it's a fairly good electrical conductor.
