Detailed explanation-1: -A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a finely distributed solid in a liquid. The solid is not dissolved in the liquid, as is the case with a mixture of salt and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mixtures of water and undissolved materials are suspensions.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Suspension? A suspension is defined as a heterogeneous mixture in which the solid particles are spread throughout the liquid without dissolving in it. A suspension is defined as a homogenous mixture of particles with a diameter greater than 1000 nm such that the particles are visible to naked eyes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Suspensions (heterogeneous) A suspension is a mixture between a liquid and particles of a solid. In this case the particles do not dissolve. The particles and the liquid are mixed up so that the particles are dispersed throughout the liquid. They are “suspended” in the liquid.
