The particles involved in a solution are about the size of molecules and atoms. This is because it is only the forces between these particles that make the solution possible.

How are the particles of the solution like?

In a solution, the particles are evenly distributed throughout the solvent. These particles can be molecules, ions, or atoms that are in a homogeneous mixture with the solvent. The size of the particles in a solution is typically smaller than those in a suspension or colloid.


What is a mixture that is not a solution but does not separate because the particles in the mixture are so small?

A colloid is a mixture that is not a solution as its particles are larger than in a solution but do not settle due to their small size and the constant movement caused by collisions with the solvent molecules. This type of mixture appears homogeneous to the naked eye and can exhibit interesting properties like the Tyndall effect where light is scattered.


Is water and instant coffee an element a compound a solution or a heterogeneous?

That would be a heterogeneous mixture as there would be small particles floating in the water.


What is a mixture with small undissolved particles that do not settle out?

A suspension is a mixture with small undissolved particles that do not settle out. These particles are typically visible to the naked eye and can be separated from the liquid by filtration. Examples include muddy water and Italian salad dressing.


Why do the particles of a solution not separate?

Particles in a solution do not separate because they are evenly distributed and surrounded by the solvent molecules. The particles are constantly moving and colliding with solvent molecules, preventing them from clumping together and settling out. This uniform distribution results in a stable mixture that maintains its homogeneity over time.

Does a solution have big particles?

No, a solution consists of uniformly distributed particles that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. The particles in a solution are typically individual atoms, ions, or small molecules.

Are the particles in a suspension larger than the particles of a solution but are yet to small to be easily seen?

Particles in a suspension are larger than the particles of a solution, but they are not always so small that they cannot be easily seen with the eye.


How is a suspension different from a solution?

The particles are bigger in a suspension, and the solute is not dissolved in the solvent but is dissolved in a solution suspension example- sand in water, sand is the solute and water is the solvent solution example- sugar in water, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent


What can the particles in a solution and a colloid do?

A Colloid is a type of mechanical mixture in which extremely small particles of on or more substances are evenly and stably distributed in one or more others. A Suspension is a mechanical mixture consisting of a liquid or gas with small particles that are distributed through it, but that separate out if the suspension is left undisturbed


What elements extremely small particles called?

All elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What is the extremely small particles that all elements are composed of?

You think probable to atoms.


What is the purpose of alum in cooking sedimentary rocks?

It removes the negative charges that allow small particles to stay in suspension. This allows the small particles (such as clay) to settle out of the solution.


Who said that each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms?
