When we mix water and sand, the sand being heavier settles to the bottom of the mixture. This process is called sedimentation and it is used for water purification. The sand or the impurities are called the sediment.

When the solid sediment in a solution. Then the solid is called precipitate and the phenomena so occurred is called precipitation.

Why sugar settles down at the bottom of the container when you place concentrated sugar syrup in the refrigerator?

When you place concentrated sugar syrup in the refrigerator, the lower temperature slows down the movement of molecules. The molecules within the syrup become more closely packed together, causing the sugar molecules to settle at the bottom due to their high density. This process is known as sedimentation.


What is the colloid and suspension and solution?

If a mixture settles over time and separates it is a suspension (milk with chocolate added). If a mixture does not separate overtime but forms lumpy or fluffy masses (like cottage cheese) it is a colloid. If a mixture does not separate or form lumpy masses it is a solution. Suspensions separate, colloids form lumps and may look 'cloud-like' and solutions remain the same.
