No- A VLAN is a single broadcast domain. If the VLAN uses a hub, which essentially connects all devices on a single wire, the the VlAN would be a collision domain. However hubs are rarely seen these days. A network switch keeps every device separated on individual collision domains so every device is kept from colliding with any other device.

What devices can you use to limit the size of a collision domain?
A switch or router will limit the number of clients in a collision domain, thus limiting what can be in the collision domain.
How many collision and broadcast domain are there if a router is directly connected to hub?
A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.
What is a single collison domain?
A collision domain is an area on the network where two devices may attempt to transmit at the same time. A hub has 1 collision domain overall. A switch has 1 collision domain per interface. The fewer devices in 1 collision domain, the better. ----
Are devices in a single collision domain in the same broadcast domain?
AnswerYes. You can't split a broadcast domain without also splitting the collision domain. The only devices that can split a broadcast domain are routers and layer 3 switches. Switches, bridges, and routers can all be used to split the collision domain. Hubs and repeaters do not split the collision domain or the broadcast domain.
What is the difference between vlan and inter-vlan?
VLAN is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of their physical location. Inter VLAN is defined as two VLANS connected to each other and communicating.
What does VLAN stand for?
A VLAN is a virtual LAN. In technical terms, a VLAN is a broadcast domain created by switches. Normally, it is a router creating that broadcast domain. With VLANs, a switch can create the broadcast domain. This works by, you, the administrator, putting some switch ports in a VLAN other than 1, the default VLAN. All ports in a single VLAN are in a single broadcast domain. Because switches can talk to each other, some ports on switch A can be in VLAN 10 and other ports on switch B can be in VLAN 10. Broadcasts between these devices will not be seen on any other port in any other VLAN, other than 10. However, these devices can all communicate because they are on the same VLAN. Without additional configuration, they would not be able to communicate with any other devices, not in their VLAN.
When segmenting a LAN what device cannot be used to reduce the collision domain?
Hubs do not reduce collision domains. All devices connected to the hub are in a single collision domain, where as on a switch, each port is its own collision domain.
How do routers and switches separate collision domains?
in my opinion there is no any collision domain in the router......but switch has collision domains for each interfaces & hub has one collision domain
What is another name for contention domain?
Collision domain
How does using a hub or a repeater affect the size of the collision domain?
A layer 1 device will extend a collision domain
How do you prevent collisions in a broadcasting domain?
You can't eliminate collision in a broadcasting domain. What you can do is to increase the number of collision domain within a broadcasting domain by using more switches. this will improve your network traffic because the more the collision domain, the better is your network in terms of data transmission performance.
Is the characteristics of hub is multiple collision domain?
A hub has a single collision domain, which is why it can cause problems when network traffic is high.
