 | Electrostatic Separation |
 | Filtering |
 | An example of Gravity Separation |
 | Sieve |
| Residue | Solids left in the filter |
| Filtrate | The liquid that passes through the filter |
| Magnetic Separation | Good for separating sand from iron. |
| Centrifuge | Separation by spinning. |
| Like electrical charges | Repel |
| Unlike electrical charges | Attract |
| Solution | Light passes through easily. |
| Suspension | Solid particles spread throughout a liquid or gas but they don't dissolve. |
| Colloid | A mixture made of particles smaller than those in a suspension but bigger than those of a solute in a solution. |
| Emulsion | A mixture of a liquid in a liquid where one liquid will not dissolve in the other. |
| Concentrated solution | A lot of solute dissolved in a solvent. |
| Dilute solution | Only a little solute in the solution. |
| Saturated solution | So much solute is already dissolved that no more will dissolve. |
| Mixture | Two or more substances stirred together, but not chemically bonded together. |
| Insoluble | Will not dissolve. |
