1 Suspensions and Colloids

2 Colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures

3 Suspensions and Colloids Suspensions and colloids are NOT solutions. Suspensions: The particles are so large that they settle out of the solvent if not constantly stirred. Colloids: The particle is intermediate in size between those of a suspension and those of a solution.
