Solution
evenly mixed,
particles cannot be removed by straining,
homogenous mixtures,
have a solute, have a solvent,
partcles cannot be seen,
example: salt water
Suspenion
large particles,
particles are easily seen,
floating around to sink to the bottom,
components of a suspension can be evenly distributed by mechanical like shaking it, will settle out,
example oil and water
Colloid
classified by their particles just big enough to block light,example: ice cream,
particles can only be seen with magnification,
never settle,
they remain evenly distributed without settling out, the particlesrange is size from 10*8- to 10*-6
not classsifies by if block light or not
particles do not go to the bottom of the mixture
heterogeneous mixtures
