  • Solutions vs. Suspensions: Understanding Liquid Mixtures
    A mixture of two or more liquids is called a solution if the liquids dissolve completely into each other. If the liquids don't fully dissolve, it's called a suspension.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solution: The components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture and cannot be easily separated. Examples: saltwater, vinegar, alcohol in water.

    * Suspension: The components are not evenly distributed, and the particles can settle out over time. You can often see the different components in a suspension. Examples: muddy water, oil and water, sand in water.
