Solution
and suspension are two different types of mixtures that can be formed by
combining two or more substances.
A
solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where the
components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The size of the
particles in a solution is very small, usually less than 1 nanometer. The
particles in a solution cannot be seen with the naked eye and they do not
settle out over time. Some common examples of solutions include saltwater,
sugar water, and air.
On
the other hand, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more
substances, where the components are not evenly distributed throughout the
mixture. Suspensions usually have large particles that can be seen with the
naked eye and they settle out over time. If a suspension is left undisturbed
for some time, the particles will settle to the bottom of the container. Some
common examples of suspensions include muddy water, blood, and some types of
medicine.
The
key difference between a solution and a suspension is the size of the particles
and the evenness of their distribution. In a solution, the particles are very
small and evenly distributed, while in a suspension the particles are larger
and not evenly distributed.
