Answer:

A solution mixture is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances where one substance has dissolved the other.

A Colloid mixture is a homogenous mixture where the particles are small enough that they stay suspended. and are evenly distributed throughout another substance.

A Suspension mixture is a type of heterogeneous mixture where solid particles do not dissolve in a liquid solution

An example of a solution mixture are salt water, rubbing alcohol, and sugar dissolved in water. When you look closely, upon mixing salt with water, you can't see the salt particles anymore, making this a homogeneous mixture

An example of a colloid mixture include whipped cream, mayonnaise, milk, butter, gelatin, jelly, muddy water, plaster, colored glass, and paper. Every colloid consists of two parts: colloidal particles and the dispersing medium

An example of a suspension mixture is water and sand When mixed up, the sand will disperse throughout the water. If left alone, the sand will settle to the bottom.

* The mixture is a type of homogeneous material, whose uniformity is found in any proportion of its constituent substances.

* Colloid medium is a type of heterogeneous material, whose diversity is observed only by means of instruments for high resolution.

*
The suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures containing large and sometimes visible solutes not constituting a homogenous liquid.

hope this helps!
