Learn about the classifications of mixtures based on their mixing properties. Discover how to differentiate between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures, and understand solutions, suspensions, and colloids.
E N D
Mixtures • Can be classified by how well the parts of the mixture are mixed • Can be separated by physical means like filtration or distillation
Heterogeneous Mixtures • Not evenly mixed • Can easily see the different parts
Homogenous Mixtures • Evenly mixed • Appear as only one substance (like tap water)
Solutions • Homogeneous mixture • Does not separate into layers over time • Particles don’t settle out • Can’t be filtered • Don’t scatter light
Suspensions • Heterogeneous mixture • Separates into layers over time • Can use filter to separate • Scatter light • Usually cloudy
Colloids • Considered a homogeneous mixutre • Particles in-between a suspension & a solution • Do not separate into layers • Cannot use a filter to separate • Scatter light
What are the main differences between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures?
