experiments solution collide suspension
Answers
Answer:
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
Other Dispersions
Liquids, solids, and gasses all may be mixed to form colloidal dispersions.
Aerosols: Solid or liquid particles in a gas
Examples: Smoke is solid in a gas. Fog is a liquid in a gas.
Sols: Solid particles in a liquid
Example: Milk of Magnesia is a sol with solid magnesium hydroxide in water
