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
Mineral solutions, colloids, and suspensions are different states of matter in which minerals can be found. A mineral solution occurs when minerals dissolve completely in a solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture. Colloids consist of fine mineral particles dispersed in a fluid, where they do not settle out but remain suspended. Suspensions, on the other hand, involve larger particles that can eventually settle out of the fluid, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.
Colloids are classified frequently as solutions because the particles have very small dimensions.
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 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 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.
