A mixture characterized by the settling of particles is known as a suspension. In a suspension, larger particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas but are not dissolved, leading them to eventually settle at the bottom when left undisturbed. This contrasts with solutions, where the solute is fully dissolved, and colloids, where particles remain evenly distributed without settling. Common examples of suspensions include muddy water and Orange Juice with pulp.
