Homogeneous mixture where the substances dissolve and form a homogeneous mixture that do not separate into layers and light passes through them. The particles are small.

• Atom
• Colloid
• Solution
• Suspension

A heterogeneous mixture that separates into laters over time. Particles are large. A filter also works to separate particles. Cloudy and scatters light.

• Atom
• Colloid
• Solution
• Suspension

A homogeneous mixture that contains some particles that are intermediate in size. They do not separate into layers nor can they be separated by a filter. Light is scattered by the particles.

• Colloid
• Solution
• Suspension

Any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances.

• Conductivity
• Malleability
• Physical Change
• Physical Property
• Viscosity
