• A mixture is defined as a mass obtained by mixing up two or more chemically non-reactive substances in any proportion by weight.
• A homogeneous mixture is defined as a mass in which the particles of the components of the mixture are equally distributed.
• A heterogeneous mixture is defined as a mass in which the particles of components of the mixture are not equally distributed.
• Solution is defined as the homogeneous mixture of two or more than two substances that can be formed either by mixing suitable solid in liquid or by liquid in liquid.
• Colloid is a homogeneous mixture in which the diameter of particles of components ranges in between that of particles of a solution and suspension.
• Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the diameter of the particle is 10^-5 cm or larger.
