Answer:

  • You can determine through observation that a mixture is a suspension from the fact that particles separate and a solid substance is formed at the bottom of the mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suspensions are heterogenous mixtures where particles settle when times passes.

The partilces in suspensions are not dissolved (solvated by a solvent). The mixtures where the particles are dissolved are solutions. Then, solutions and supensions are different in that the former have the particles solvated and the latter not.

The particles in a solution are molecules or ions. Such solvated particles in a solution are very small; in comparison,the particles on a suspension are larger. Then, the weight of the particles in a suspension makes that they separate from the liquid and settle down.
