How is colloid distinguished from a solution or a suspension?
Solution: one phase system (solute or solutes in a solution) Colloid: two phases system, very stable dispersion in a dispersion medium, particles in the range 5-200 nm Suspension: two phases (or more) system, unstable, particles above 200 nm A colloid is distinguished from a solution and a suspension by the particles, because they usually have an electric charge, and they repel each other, so they do not collect into larger perticles that would settle out like those in solutions, and suspensions.
Is suspension colloid solution or compound smaller?
compound
What mixture shows the Tyndall effect?
Suspensions and colloids exhibit the Tyndall Effect. When a beam of light is shone on either of these mixtures, it will be scattered by the continuous movement of the particles and not shine through to the other side.
Which rock has the smallest particles mudstone or conglomerate?
mudstone has smaller particles :D
How is the ribosome compared with pores?
Smaller
Describe the differences between colliods and suspensions?
Colloids do not settle out; suspensions eventually do settle out. Particles in colloids are smaller than particles in suspensions.
Doescolloid has smaller particles than a solution?
a colloid has smaller particles than a solution
Colloids suspensions and solutions are all what?
You will be able to distinguishes suspensions form colloids and solutions because the suspensions components will separated. If a beam of light passing through a solution is not visible it is a Colloid.
Why colloidal solutions are called heterogeneous?
A colloid is a mixture where the size of the particles is less than the particles of suspension. These particles are uniformly spread out throught the solution. Due to relatively smaller size of particlesas compared to solution this appears to be homogenious.but a colloid solution is ahetrerogeneous mixture.The componenys of a colloid are in a dispersed phase in a medium.eg. milk

Is fog a colloid a suspension or a solution?
Fog is a colloid.
A colliod has smaller particles than a solution?
No, a solution has much smaller particles than a colloid. In a solution the particles are individual atoms, molecules, or ions.
What is the difference between a solution a colloid and a suspension?
Colloids are particles smaller than those in a suspension. The basic difference between a colloid and a suspension is the diameter of the particles dispersed. Colloids are generally 1 to 5 nanometers while suspensions are usually 1000 nanometers. Colloids are usually harder to detect / see with the naked eye or microscope for this reason. Gelatin, butter, smoke, and fog are examples. A muddy delta is an example of a suspension.
Is fog suspension colloid or solution?
It is neither.Colloid: This is a type of mixture in which one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another, it does not settle out, it is stable though not a homogenous (true) solution.Suspension: a heterogeneous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation.This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid, in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.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.
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.
Is suspension colloid solution or compound smaller?
compound
Is colloids a homogeneous or hetrogeneous solution?
The particles of colloid are uniformly spread through out the solution, Due to relatively smaller size as that of suspension, the mixture appears to be a homogeneous.But actually it is a hetrogeneous mixture.Ex milk.
