Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A suspension is a mixture in which particles settle over time and can be heterogeneous in composition. Examples include muddy water or blood. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of particles that do not settle out and have uniform composition throughout. Colloids are intermediate between suspensions and solutions, with particles that are larger than molecular size but smaller than those in a suspension. Aerosols are suspensions of particles in air, while emulsions are suspensions of liquids in other liquids.
