Solutions
-Homogenous
-particle size: 0.01nm; can be atoms ions molecules
-Do not separate on standing
-Cannot be separated by filtration
-Do not scatter light -ex.saltwater
Suspension
-Heterogenous
-over 1000 nm, suspended,can be large particles or aggregates
-particles settle out
-can be separated by filtration -May scatter light -ex. soapy water
Colloid
-Heterogenous
-1-1000 nm, dispersed, can be aggregates or large molecules
- do not separate on standing -Cant be separated by filtration -Scatter light -ex smoke
both mixtures
Cant be separated by filtration
both heterogenous
all are types of mixtures
