| solution | a well-mixed mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute |
| solvent | the part of a solution present in the largest amount; the part of a solution that does the dissolving |
| solute | the substance that is present in a solution in a smaller amount; the part of a solution that is dissolved |
| colloid | a mixture containing small, undissolved particles that do not settle out and can pass through a filter paper |
| suspension | a mixture in which particles an be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration |
| dilute solution | a mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent |
| concentrated solution | a mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in the solvent |
| solubility | a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature |
| saturated solution | a mixture that contain as much dissolved solute as possible at a given temperature |
| unsaturated solution | a mixture that contains less dissolved solute than is possible at a given temperature |
| supersaturated solution | a mixture that has more dissolved solute than is predicted by its solubility at a given temperature |
| dissolution | the process of a solute forming a solution in a solvent |
