  • A solution is a uniform mixture of two or more substances.
    A solution's particles are less than 1 nm (10-9 metre) in diameter. As a result, they are invisible to the naked eye.
    Because of their small particle size, they do not scatter a light beam passing through them. As a result, the light path is not visible in a solution.
    When left undisturbed, the solute particles do not settle, indicating that the solution is stable.
    The filtration process cannot separate the solute particles from the mixture.
    Sol: A sol is a mixture of different substances.
    The particles of a sol are too small to be seen individually with the naked eye. It has a diameter of 1 nm to 100 nm.
    Sols are large enough to scatter a light beam passing through them and reveal its path.
    They do not settle down when left alone, implying that a sol is quite stable.
    The filtration process cannot separate the solute particles from the mixture.
    Suspension : Suspension is a diverse mixture.
    A suspension's particles can be seen with the naked eye. Their diameter is greater than 100 nm.
    A beam of light passing through a suspension is scattered by its particles, revealing its path.
    When a suspension is left undisturbed, the solute particles settle down, indicating that the suspension is unstable.
    Filtration can be used to separate them from the mixture.
