A true solution is homogeneous and generally transparent.
they are able to scatter light
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
they are able to scatter light
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Maple syrup is a solution.
These factors are:- homogeneity of the solution- dimension of particles
Colloids are classified frequently as solutions because the particles have very small dimensions.
It is
An alloy is a solid solution composed of two or more metals. It is not a colloid or suspension as it does not have separate phases like in colloids or suspensions where particles are dispersed in a medium. In an alloy, the atoms of different metals are mixed at the atomic level, forming a homogeneous mixture.
Colloids are mixtures where one substance is evenly dispersed throughout another substance on a small scale. Suspensions, on the other hand, are mixtures where particles are larger and tend to settle out over time. Colloids display the Tyndall effect, scattering light, while suspensions do not.
Colloids and suspensions are both heterogeneous mixtures where particles are dispersed within a medium. However, colloids have smaller particles that do not settle out over time due to Brownian motion, while suspensions have larger particles that settle out due to gravity. Both colloids and suspensions can scatter light, making their solutions appear cloudy or opaque.
Colloids have particles that are intermediate in size between solutions and suspensions and do not settle out over time like suspensions. In a solution, the solute particles are evenly distributed and do not settle out, whereas in a suspension, the solute particles are larger and settle out over time.
