Colloid
a heterogenous mixture in which the dispersed particles will not settle out.
Suspension
a heterogenous mixture of a fluid and large particles that will settle out over time.
Dissociation
the physical separation of the ions in a solid ionic compound by the action of a solvent.
Solvation
the process of dissolving a solute into a liquid.
Solubility
The maximum amount of solute into a liquid solvent.
Concentration
the actual amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solution.
Colligative property
a physical property of solutions that depends only on the concentration of dissolved particles and not on the identity or properties of the solute.
