Observed large scatters in abundance ratios of neutron-capture elements relative to iron in metalpoor stars may suggest incomplete mixing of the interstellar medium at the beginning of the Galaxy. On the other hand, recent studies of metal-poor stars show considerable small dispersions for abundance ratios of C-Zn. We discuss whether such variations of scatters in abundance ratios can be explained by a consistent chemical evolution model. We also attempt to constrain the origins of r-process
