What is the term for a mixture with fine insoluble particles in it that eventually settle out to form a sediment?

A Suspension Here the particle size can be viewed by the naked eye. The particles display the tyndal effect where the particles are used as the medium for light rays. The particles also settle down after a short period of time and this mixture can be seperated using a funnel or evaporation(if it is an aqueous solution).

What is a homogeneous mixture that contains particles that scatter light?

They are called "colloids". These have large particles that are suspended in a solution.


If a mixture scatters light and does not settle upon standing is it a suspension?

If a mixture scatters light and does not settle upon standing, it is not considered a suspension. It is considered a colloid.


What are facts about colloids?

A colloid is a mixture of a continuous phase and a dispersed phase in which the particles of the dispersed phase are large enough to scatter visible light but small enough to remain uniformly dispersed throughout the continuous phase for intervals of at least several hours, usually for many days.


Which type of mixture has particles large enough to scatter light?

This is a colloidal mixture.


What is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture containing particles that are small enough to stay suspended but large enough to scatter light.


How can you determine through observation that a mixture is suspension?

What this is saying relative to what you quote is that when the mixture is agitated, stirred if you will, then left without agitating, it will settle out. That means that you have to keep stirring the mixture for the particles to stay in suspension, that is to not settle out. If you put dirt into a glass of water it will settle out. If you keep stirring it will look uniform because it can't settle out. But when you stop stirring, the dirt being denser than the water will mostly settle out and given enough time most of it will settle out. But by observation means that you can see that the dirt is not settling out, which will be obvious if you have sufficient light shining on it or through it.
