  "term": "Suspension",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A heterogeneous mixture in which solid particles are dispersed in a fluid, such as a liquid or a gas. The particles are large enough to be seen and will eventually settle out over time due to gravity. This differs from a colloid, where particles are smaller and remain dispersed indefinitely.",
