Question

name:

1. explain the differences between a suspension, a solution, and a mixture.

Explanation:

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas but not dissolved. The particles are large enough to settle out over time. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute (the substance being dissolved) is uniformly dispersed at the molecular or ionic level in the solvent (the dissolving medium). A mixture is a general term that can be either homogeneous (like a solution) or heterogeneous (like a suspension). It simply refers to a combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties.

Answer:

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture with large - settling particles. A solution is a homogeneous mixture with molecular/ionic - level dispersion. A mixture is a general combination (homogeneous or heterogeneous) of substances.
