One characteristic of a suspension is that it consists of particles suspended in a liquid or gas, where the particles are larger than those found in a solution. Suspensions exhibit the phenomenon of settling, where the particles may separate and settle at the bottom over time.
Yes, nail polish is considered a suspension in chemistry because it is a mixture of insoluble particles (pigments) suspended in a liquid solvent. When nail polish is left to sit for a while, the pigments settle at the bottom of the bottle, demonstrating the characteristic property of a suspension.
Yes, mud is considered a suspension because it is a mixture of solid particles suspended in water. The particles do not dissolve in the water but remain suspended within it, giving mud its characteristic thick and murky appearance.
I think the dust in air is neither a colloid, a suspension nor a solution. REASONS: 1. You can not say that it is a colloid because the common characteristic of a colloid is sticky like lotions and gels; 2. You can not say that it is a suspension because if it is, we should be able to identify easily the solid particles in the air which is the dust; 3. You can not say that it is a solution because it should form only liquid phase as result. Though I don't think is it is a colloid, a suspension, or a solution, I am sure that it is MIXTURE.
