Answer:
Explanation:
Solution-A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components. The dissolving agent is the solvent. The substance that is dissolved is the solute. The components of a solution are atoms, ions, or molecules, making them 10-9 m or smaller in diameter. Example: Sugar and water
Suspensions -The particles in suspensions are larger than those found in solutions. Components of a suspension can be evenly distributed by mechanical means, like by shaking the contents but the components will eventually settle out. Example: Oil and water
Colloids -Particles intermediate in size between those found in solutions and suspensions can be mixed in such a way that they remain evenly distributed without settling out. These particles range in size from 10-8 to 10-6 m in size and are termed colloidal particles or colloids. The mixture they form is called a colloidal dispersion. A colloidal dispersion consists of colloids in a dispersing medium. Example: Milk
