• solute particles are very tiny and do not settle out or settle light.
• Example: Mineral water

• solute particles are larger than in solution and scatter light: do not settle out.
• Example: Gelatin

• solute particles are very large: settle out and may scatter light.
• Example: blood

a chemical bond formed by the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another.

• electron acceptor
• net negative charge

• electron donor
• net positive charge

large array of cations and anions held together by ionic bonds

chemical bond created by electron charing between atoms

equal sharing of electrons
