Solutions, Suspensions, & Colloids

Types of homogenous mixtures. We can classify them by the size of particle in the mixture.

Solutions, Suspensions, & Colloids


Solutions smallest particles (less than 1 nm). Particles do not settle. Colloids smaller particles (greater than 100 nm) than suspensions (e.g. gelatin desserts, paint). Suspensions mixtures where the particles (1 to 1000 nm) slowly settle (e.g. clay in water).
