saturated solution | A solution that has reached the point where no more solute can dissolve in the solvent. |
suspension | A mixture where larger particles are mixed into and suspended throughout smaller particles |
heterogeneous | What we call a mixture when we can actually see the different substances because they are not well mixed |
alloys | Metals that have been dissolved into other metals to form a metal solution |
