physical mixture
physical combination of matter
a solution
is a stable uniform mixture of two or more substance
solvent
is the substance that dissolves the solute and makes the solution
miscible
liquids are mutually soluble meaning that they can be mixed together to form solutions
immiscible
liquids are not capable of being mixed together to form stable solutions
suspensions
unstable physical mixtures of undissolved particles in liquid
emulsion
is an unstable physical mixtures of two or more immiscible substances
emulsifier
is an ingredient that brings two normally incompatible materials together and binds them together into a uniform and fairly stable mixture
surfactants
are substances that allow oil and water to mix or emulsify
oil-in-water emulsion
oil droplets are emulsified in water
water-in-oil
water droplets emulsified in oil
volatile alcohols
evaporates easily
alkanolamines
alkaline substances used to neutralize acids or raises the pH of many hair products
