In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. Usually they must be larger than 1 micrometer.[1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation, with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents. Unlike colloids, suspensions will eventually settle. An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid, in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.[2] Colloids and suspensions are different from solutions, in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.
A suspension of liquid droplets or fine solid particles in a gas is called an aerosol or particulate. In the atmosphere these consist of fine dust and soot particles, sea salt, biogenic and volcanogenic sulfates, nitrates, and cloud droplets.
Suspensions are classified on the basis of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, where the former is essentially solid while the latter may either be a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
In modern chemical process industries, high shear mixing technology has been used to create many novel suspensions.
Suspensions are unstable from the thermodynamic point of view; however, they can be kinetically stable over a large period of time, which determines their shelf life. This time span needs to be measured to ensure the best product quality to the final consumer. “Dispersion stability refers to the ability of a dispersion to resist change in its properties over time.” D.J. McClements. [3]

A. Two immiscible liquids, not yet emulsified.
B. An emulsion of Phase II dispersed in Phase I.
C. The unstable emulsion progressively separates.
D. The surfactant (purple outline around particles) positions itself on the interfaces between Phase II and Phase I, stabilizing the emulsion
An emulsion (IPA: /ɪˈmʌlʃən/[1]) is a mixture of two or more immiscible (unblendable) liquids. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids. Although the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used interchangeably, emulsion tends to imply that both the dispersed and the continuous phase are liquid. In an emulsion, one liquid (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase).
Examples of emulsions include vinaigrettes, the photo-sensitive side of photographic film, milk and cutting fluid for metal working.

Simple syrup is a concentrated solution of 850 grams of sucrose (or table sugar) in enough water to make 1000 ml. Medications that dissolve in aqueous solutions can be administered as syrup, plain or flavored to increase palatability or to disguise an unpleasant taste.
Medicines that dissolve in alcoholic solutions are termed elixirs.
Medicines that do not dissolve but are suspended in a liquid are referred to as suspensions. Suspensions will settle out upon rest, so they need to be vigorously shaken before administration.
Suspensions and elixirs may also be flavored.

I'd think that a syrup is a homogeneous mixture which is thinner while a suspension is one where stuff is not completely dissolved, so you'd probably be able to taste powdery stuff in it and it'd probably have a thicker texture too (:

Suspension medication is thicker and more concentrated than syrups. All infant and most children's medications are suspension forms because it is easier for them to swallow.

The syrup forms are thicker and look a lot like maple syrup that we use at breakfast. The suspensions are thinner and they usually are kind of gritty feeling where the drug doesn't disolve completely.

i believe that the suspension has a gelatin in it so that it will not spill as easily as syrup.
