Homogeneous Heterogeneous
Types of Mixtures
Heterogeneous Mixture: The parts of the mixture are noticeably different from one another.
◦ Examples: Sand, Salsa, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Homogeneous Mixture: The substances are so evenly distributed that it is difficult to distinguish
one substance in the mixture from another.
◦ Examples: Swimming pool water, Stainless steel fork
Solutions, Suspensions, & Colloids
Mixtures can be
classified based on
the size of their
largest particles.
Suspension
Suspension –
Settles out or separates into different layers when
it is no longer agitated
(no longer moving).
Heterogeneous mixture
Separates into layers over time
Particles can be trapped by filter paper (like a
coffee filter)
Are cloudy in appearance
Examples:
◦ Drip coffee makers
◦ Wire screens at an
archaeological site
Colloid particles are larger than the particles in a
solution.
