Suspension
a mixture in which 2 or more parts can be seen 
Solution
a mixture that appears to be made up of one substance
homogeneous appearance
dilute, concentrated, saturated
types: - solid-solid  eg. alloys- solid-liquid  eg. calamine lotion- liquid-liquid  eg. vinegar- liquid-gas  eg. soda drinks- gas-gas  eg. air  
not mixed in fixed proportion 
can be seperated by physical methods
has properties of tis constitutional substances
no chemical reaction involved
