Mixtures can be classified into two categories. A ___ mixture is one that does not have a uniform composition. Such as a bucket full of soil, dirt, leaves, and rocks. | Heterogeneous |
Mixtures can be classified into two categories. A ___ mixture is one where the substances are evenly spread throughout. Such as sugar and water. | Homogeneous |
___ are heterogeneous mixtures in which the particles of a material are spread throughout a liquid or gas, but are too large to stay mixed without being stirred or shaken. | Suspensions |
In a ___, one substance is dissolved in another substance. Tea is an example of this type of homogeneous. | Solutions |
___ particles are small and do not settle out quickly. They look homogeneous, but we consider them to be heterogeneous. Milk and gelatin are examples of this type of mixture. | Colloids |
