TYPE OF MIXTURES
SOLUTION - Homogeneous mixture
-Formed when one substance is dissolved in another substance
-It contains solute and solvent
Solute – a substance that dissolves in another substance
Solvent-a substance that dissolves the solute

Gas + Liquid
Solid + Liquid
CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTION
Concentrated Solution – Contains a large amount of dissolved solute
Dilute Solution – Contains a small amount of dissolved solute.

SUSPENSION
-Heterogeneous mixtures
-It contains larger particles that settle out when left undisturbed
-They just settle at the bottom or float on top
COLLOIDS
-Homogeneous mixture
-A mixture with intermediate particle size between a solution and a suspension
-A mixture with two components: colloidal or dispersed particles and dispersing medium
