No, a solution has much smaller particles than a colloid. In a solution the particles are individual atoms, molecules, or ions.

What are colliods properties?

larger partials that adhere, or stick togetherer.


What is a charasteristic of a solution?

In a solution, the solute particles are generally of molecular size or smaller, even much smaller than those in a colloid.


How are the particles of the solution like?

In a solution, the particles are evenly distributed throughout the solvent. These particles can be molecules, ions, or atoms that are in a homogeneous mixture with the solvent. The size of the particles in a solution is typically smaller than those in a suspension or colloid.


Particles that do not settle out in solution are called?

I'm pretty sure that would be a colloid. Hope that helps!


Does a colloid have smaller particles than a suloution?

Yes, colloids have particles larger than those in a solution, typically between 1-1000 nanometers. In contrast, solutions have particles smaller than 1 nanometer and do not scatter light.


Which mixture has the smallest particles compound colloid suspension or solution?

Colloid has larger particles compared to solution, but smaller than suspension. Therefore, of the three options listed (compound, colloid, suspension), a compound mixture typically has the smallest particles.


What is in between a solution and a suspention?

In between a solution and a suspension is a colloid. A colloid consists of particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Colloids have particles that do not settle out over time and exhibit properties of both solutions and suspensions.


Is suspension colloid solution or compound smaller?

Suspension is typically made up of larger particles (greater than 1000 nm) that are dispersed in a liquid. In contrast, a colloid solution consists of particles that are intermediate in size between a suspension and a true solution (1-1000 nm). Therefore, the particles in a suspension are generally larger than those in a colloid solution.


Which mixture would not scatter light?

A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.


Why isn't colliod a true solution?

A colloid isn't a true solution because its particles are larger than those in a true solution, typically ranging from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer in size. In a true solution, solute particles are completely dissolved at the molecular or ionic level, resulting in a homogeneous mixture that does not scatter light. In contrast, colloidal particles remain suspended and can scatter light, a phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect. Additionally, colloids do not settle out over time like larger particles in suspensions, but they do not exhibit the same uniformity as true solutions.


How are collioids and supensions different from a solution?

Colloids contain particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Suspensions have particles that are large enough to settle out over time, unlike solutions where particles are uniformly dispersed and do not settle. Solutions have the smallest particle size and the particles do not settle or scatter light.
