When a solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute.
Example of suspension

• Mud or muddy water, is where soil, clay, or silt particles are suspended in water
• Dust particles suspended in air
• Flour suspended in water

Some Examples of Solution

• Commonly encountered solutions involving solid dissolved in a liquid. Solutions in which the solvent is a liquid and the solute is a gas, liquid, or solid are very common.
• The atmosphere is a good example of a solution in which a gaseous solvent (nitrogen) dissolves other gases (such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and neon)
• Solutions of solids in solids are also another example, they are encountered in among various metal alloys
