Solution – This is a kind of mixture where everything is completely mixed. You can’t see the separate parts anymore. It looks clear, and the particles are so small that they don’t settle or separate even if you leave it for a long time.Example: Salt dissolved in waterSuspension – This one has bigger particles. If you leave it alone, the solid parts will settle at the bottom. You can usually see the difference between the liquid and the solid.Example: Mud in water Colloid – A colloid is in between a solution and a suspension. The particles are small but not as small as in a solution. They don’t settle quickly, and the mixture usually looks cloudy or milky.Example: Milk or flour in water
