Solutions are mixtures on an atomic or molecular level; the mixture is so fine grained that you could never see it with a microscope. All you would see is a homogeneous substance. Colloidal suspensions contain tiny particles that you might be unable to see with the unaided eye, but which you could see with a microscope.

What is the difference between true and colloid solution?

Colloid is not a true solution they both differ from each other. Colloid is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible while a True solution is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible .


Is milk a solution a suspension or a colloid?

A colloid. It is not a solution - that would be clear because one compound is dissolved by the other. It is not a suspension - a suspension is solid particles mixed with a liquid

How can a torch be used to test a colloid?

A torch can be used to test a colloid by shining the light through the colloid. If the colloid scatters the light making it visible (Tyndall effect), then it is a colloid. This is because the particles in the colloid are large enough to scatter light, unlike particles in a solution which are too small.


How can you tell wheather a mixture and water is a souluton or colloid?

A colloid is frequently opalescent and has more than one phase; the dimension of particles is in the range 1 nm-1μm.A true solution has only one phase and is clear.


What is the difference between a clear solution and a colorless solution in chemistry?

A solution can still contain color, but also be clear. Take a pool for example, the water is slightly blue but you can still see through it. A colorless solution is when there is no color, like water in a store bought water bottle.
