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.
