Solution - homogenous mixtures where the solute is completely dissolved into the solvent
Suspension - Heterogenous mixture where some particles settle out of the mixture. They are larger than those of a solution so gravity is able to pull them down out of the dispersion medium
Colloids - heterogeneous mixture with particles whose size is between those in a solution and a suspension.
Answers & Comments
Answer:
Homogeneous Mixture (Solution)
even distribution of components
very small particles
particles never settle
EX: saline solution
Colloid
medium-sized particles
Tyndall effect - particles scatter light (looks cloudy)
particles never settle
EX: milk
Suspension
large particles
particles scatter light
particles will settle (needs to be shaken)
EX: fresh-squeezed lemonade
