Question

What is Suspension??​

Answer 1

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve, but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent, left floating around freely in the medium. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid, in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.
