What are Solutions? | They are homogeneous mixtures. |
What are mixtures classified as? | Mixtures are classified as solutions, suspensions, or colloids, depending on the size of the solute particles in the mixture. |
What is the dissolved substance? | The dissolved substance is the solute. Solutions that have water as a solvent are aqueous solutions. |
What can solutions consist of? | Solutions can consist of solutes and solvents that are solids, liquids, or gases. |
How are suspensions settle? | Suspensions settle out upon standing. |
What most ionic solutes and some molecular solutes form? | Most ionic solutes and some molecular solutes form aqueous solutions that conduct an electric current. These solutes are called electrolytes. |
What are nonelectrolytes? | Nonelectrolytes are solutes that dissolve in water to form solutions that do not conduct electric currents. |
Do colloids settle? | Colloids do not settle out, and they scatter light that is shined through them. |
