Investigating Mixtures, Solutions, Elements, and Compounds: Types of Mixtures

The video tutorial explains three types of mixtures: suspensions, solutions, and colloids. Suspensions have large particles that settle over time, as seen in snow globes and muddy water. Solutions have small, evenly distributed particles that do not settle, like air and colored water. Colloids have particles larger than solutions but smaller than suspensions, which remain floating and can reflect light, as seen in milk and fog.

What is a suspension and how does it differ from a solution?

Can you provide examples of suspensions found in everyday life?

How do the particles in a solution differ from those in a suspension?

What characteristics define a colloid?

What are some common examples of colloids, and how do they behave?
