Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures; suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures;
The three mixtures are: Solutions, Suspensions and Colloids.
By its size
Yes, all solutions are by definition mixtures.
solutions, colloids and suspensions
* Mixtures contain two or more compounds.* Suspensions contain solids not soluble in liquids; dimensions are over 1 micrometer. Suspensions also exist in gases.* Colloids have dimensions between 100 nm an 1 micrometer.* Solutions are homogeneous mixtures, generally as liquids.
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.
A colloid is an example of a mixture. Specifically, colloids are mixtures in which the components do not separate. Mixtures in which the components do separate are known as suspensions.
Solutions
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
