Solutions

Soluble- capable of being dissolved

Solution- homogenous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase. .1 nm-1 nm, does not separate on standing or by filtration

solvent- dissolving medium

solute- substance dissolved

Particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated

particles are 1000 nm and bigger

separates by flitration or by settling

Particles intermediate in size between those in solutions and in suspensions form colloidal dispersions

heterogenous

particles 1 nm- 1000 nm

do not separate on standing or through filtration

Electrolyte- substance that dissolves in water to give s solution that conducts electric current

Nonelectrolyetp substance that dissolves in water and does not conduct electricity
