What Mixture in which the particles are disperesed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out?

colloid is correct


What is the main difference between solutions suspension and colloids?

A Suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, a Colloid is a mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out, and a solution is a uniform mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute.


A type of mixture with particles that are larger those in solutions but not heavy enough to settle out?

The type of mixture you are referring to is a colloid. Colloids have larger particles than those in solutions but are still small enough to remain dispersed and not settle out. Examples of colloids include fog and mayonnaise.


Where do the heavy particles in a mixture end up because of gravity?

Heavy particles in a mixture will settle at the bottom due to gravity, a process known as sedimentation. This can be observed in processes like centrifugation, where the heavier components move towards the bottom of the tube.


Mixture whose particles are not heavy?

You think probable to colloids.


Placer deoosits form when?

They form when heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water.


What are the two types of homogeneous mixtures?

The two types of homogeneous mixtures are solutions and colloids. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance is dissolved in another, while colloids are homogeneous mixtures with particles that are dispersed throughout a medium but not heavy enough to settle out.


What kind of mixture can be separated using decantation?

Decantation can be used to separate a mixture of a solid and a liquid where the solid settles at the bottom due to its higher density. The liquid can then be poured off, leaving the solid behind. Examples include a mixture of sand and water or a mixture of chalk and water.


Is a colloid a heterogenous mixture?

A colloid is actually a heterogeneous mixture. HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE- Heterogeneous mixture means the mixture in which the particles are not uniformly mixed with each other. In a colloid the particles are very very minute and so are not visible to our eyes. For example milk is colloid. So according to me colloid mixture appears to be a homogeneous mixture but actually it is a heterogeneous mixture.


Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because?

they are light enough to be carried by water or wind without settling out. These small particles are typically clay or silt-sized, allowing them to remain suspended for longer periods. Sand and larger particles are too heavy to be suspended and settle more quickly.


Is jello a solid liguid or gas?

its a newtonian fluid it is also considered to be both solid and liquid or what is known as plasma. Other types of plasma are blood and volcanic magma and toothpaste and glue.


What is a Colloidal mixture?

A colloidal mixture is sometimes called a colloidal system, a colloidal suspension, or simply a "colloid." The smallest dimension of the minor component of a colloidal mixture can range from approximately one nanometer (1 billionth of a meter) to one micrometer (1 millionth of a meter). Examples of liquid colloidal mixtures are milk, paints, and muddy water. The medium can be a gas, in the cases of smog, smoke, or aerosol sprays. Some solids are considered to be colloidal mixtures, as in steel or foam rubber. A colloidal mixture is sometimes called a colloidal system, a colloidal suspension, or simply a "colloid."
