Mixtures, Solutions and Suspensions

The difference between mixtures, solutions and suspensions

Mixtures

A mixture is a combination of substances which are not chemically joined together.

Examples

Solutions

A solution is a mixture in which other substances (solutes) are dissolved.

If a material dissolves in a liquid the material is said to be soluble. A solution is saturated if no more solute can be dissolved with the temperature remaining constant. 

Examples

Suspensions

A suspension is a mixture of liquids and particles of a solid which may not dissolve in the liquid.
