suspension

heterogeneous mixture

AI overview

A suspension is a mixture where solid particles are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, but the particles don't dissolve and will eventually settle to the bottom if left undisturbed. Understanding suspensions matters because many everyday products—like paint, milk, and medicines—are suspensions, and knowing how they behave helps predict whether they'll stay mixed or separate over time.

A suspension of flour mixed in a glass of water, showing the Tyndall effect

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer, and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out.
