a colloid 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.
In a solution, the solute particles are generally of molecular size or smaller, even much smaller than those in a colloid.
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.
I'm pretty sure that would be a colloid. Hope that helps!
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.
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.
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.
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.
A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.
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.
Clay particles are smaller than silt particles. Clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter, while silt particles range from 0.002 to 0.05 mm.
The scientific term for a colloid is a substance that consists of particles dispersed throughout another substance. These particles are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension.
