Mixtures

To understand mixtures, you will need to understand some material from other units. Specifically, you need to know about the intermolecular attractions that cause or allow things to mix.

In this unit we will discuss

• the process of mixing
• specific terminology associated with mixture and mixing
• units of concentration 
• the differences between solutions, colloids and suspensions
• colligative properties.  
• the Tyndall effect - which helps us understand why the sky is blue
