Some examples of suspension

Shaik wam plex turs, suchy water, sand particles suspended in water. Solid particles and water rema separate in a suspension.

Suspensions are formed by substances which do not dissolve in water.

Characteristics of Suspensions
(i) A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.

(ii) The size of solute particles in a suspension is large (greater than m) in diameter.

(iv) A suspension can be separated by filtration.

(v) Suspensions are unstable.

(iii) The particles of a suspension can be seen by naked eyes Educatiesily.

(vi) Particles of suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible but when ssh the particles settle down, the suspension breaks and it does not scatter light any more.
